All internships are part-time and require between 12-20 hours per week over a 2-3 day period. Those seeking college credit are particularly encouraged to apply. All potential candidates must be residents of Chicago (because, dude, that's where our office is) or the surrounding suburbs. Pitchfork internships are not paid positions, but there is potential that they may lead to one. If you're down, send your resume and cover letter to internship@pitchforkmedia.com by 6:00pm CST Friday, August 12. The subject header of your email should simply state which internship you'd like to pursue. In addition to a resume and cover letter, applicants seeking work as graphics editors or reporters should include three samples of their work, or a link to a website that indicates you have some experience-- whether personal or professional-- in that particular field.
