Gotham Baseball, which you’ll recognize from the incessant Tuesday plugs I give here for my weekly column there, is seeking a hand or six in building what is already a budding and fairly substantial baseball media organization. If you or somebody you know might be interested, check out what’s below and please get in touch. Thanks.
Gotham Baseball magazine and GothamBaseball.com, the only media outlets that relentlessly cover the Mets, Yankees, their minor leagues, local independent minors and college baseball, are seeking interns for the 2006 baseball season.
Now, the opportunity to learn first-hand about the exciting world of sportswriting from industry veterans is here. If you want to learn about magazine design, media performance or distribution, now here’s your chance.
Gotham needs about a half-dozen people to help with expanded coverage of local college baseball and independent and affiliated minor league coverage. GB seeks individuals who wish to learn photojournalism, Web design, and media planning as well.
The ideal applicant already writes constantly, maybe on his or her own Web site — but wants to learn from professionals. All interns should be 18 years of age or older and have a valid driver’s license. A sense of humor is required, also.
There are thousands of internships out there, but at Gotham Baseball, nobody will be sending you out for coffee and sandwiches. GB will teach you the skills that you need to succeed, and actually give you the opportunity to prove yourself with real hands-on experience.
Qualified applicants will get the chance to hone their writing style (including broadcast, print and online), learn how to conduct interviews, as well as getting Web design experience, photo gallery design and magazine layout tutorials.
If you love baseball and relish the opportunity to start your media career off the right way, no other internship will teach you more, give you more experience or most importantly, be more fun.
Apply today, time is limited. Interested individuals should send a cover letter, resume and clippings (if applicable) to info@gothambaseball.com. Applications must be received by April 1.
