National Audubon Society is hiring: Editorial Intern, Audubon Magazine in New Yo
National Audubon Society, New York, NY, United States
Position Summary
Audubon magazine, the organization’s editorially independent publication, uses explanatory and advocacy journalism, as well as stunning original photography, to inform its readers about the natural world, inspire them to care passionately about that world, and motivate them to take action on its behalf. The editorial intern contributes meaningfully to that effort via both the print publication and website.
Ideal candidates will have strong writing and communication skills as well as an interest in covering topics ranging from science and conservation news to climate change and environmental justice.
