Peninsula Pulse Looking for Summer Interns

The Peninsula Pulse is seeking individuals who wish to gain experience through an internship for the summer of 2023 while exploring all there is to see and do in Door County.

This internship requires you to have fun, try new things and explore Door County’s beaches, natural wonders, nightlife, and vibrant arts and cultural scene. One day you might kayak down the Sturgeon Bay ship canal, capture the sights with photos and write about your experience. The next day, you might capture the scene at a local performance venue when a nationally touring honky-tonk act takes the stage.

We’re looking for candidates with an interest in writing, as well as photography, videography and podcast production. Responsibilities will include writing short articles and features about entertainment – live music, outdoor activities, theater, performances – and galleries, artists or art-related events. You’ll also assist with creating our daily e-newsletter and events calendar, and assist with video and podcast production.

We can offer a minimum of 40 hours per week, starting at $14 per hour.

Prior experience with a newspaper, magazine or journal would be helpful, but it’s not necessary for a motivated candidate. What is necessary is curiosity, as well as the ability to find, research and execute interesting storylines under the pressure of deadlines.

You’ll also need a firm grasp on spelling and grammar, good attention to detail, an understanding of Mac computers/Google Drive, strong organizational skills, punctuality, a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. 

The internship is available from mid-May through August (we will consider extending it for a motivated candidate). All interested candidates should send a cover letter, three writing samples and a résumé to the Peninsula Pulse editor, Debra Fitzgerald, at [email protected]. The application closing date is March 1, 2023.
