This thread is only for questions regarding the news intern positions. I've removed all previous Q&A and put them into a single digest post (with some updates). If you don't find the answer to your question below, please post it in this thread.
Sure :-p
There's no strict age requirement per se. That said, we rarely accept candidates under 18 (it's only happened once - but fwiw, the intern in question got a salaried position after finishing the internship and has been with us for several years since). Our preference is for college students in their final year of journalism, or recent college grads. We have no upper age restriction on internships. People start new journeys at all ages of their lives and we're happy to support them.
In fact, you must telecommute as ANN has no central office.
Yes
No. Knowledge of Japanese and journalism training are big pluses though. Most of our interns have both Japanese skills and Journalism experience, but there have been exceptions. It's unlikely that we would accept an intern with neither.
1: A bit of both. We'll hold your hand a lot at first, and then expect you to be more and more independent as time goes on. Not knowing where to look at first won't be a problem. 2: PT, ET and JST primarily.
You really shouldn't be asking this question. At this stage in your life you should know how to write a resume, and if you don't know how, you should know how to use Google in order to find out. Quite bluntly, if you need to ask this question, we'd rather not have you as an intern. Send your resume with the usual information you would include in your resume when applying for any job. Tailor your resume and letter of introduction to these jobs by focusing on pertinent information.
Always send those as attachments unless informed otherwise. You can of course chose to duplicate your letter in the body of the e-mail as well.
Don't really care, but putting them in separate documents seems to be the norm.
A webbrowser and an IM client/account (preferably an AIM account).
No, err, "Yes you should." All things equal, we give preference to people doing it for credit, but if a non-credit candidate is significantly better than the for credit candidates, we'll definitely go with the non-credit candidate.
To be honest, your chances are lower than people with college experience / responsibilities (we know a college intern won't flake out half way through, because they'll fail their internship), but you wouldn't be our first non-college student intern. You should apply next semester.
Yes. Very often we have a very hard time picking our interns. For 2 spots there's 20~30 applicants every season and 6~10 of them are very good. If you didn't get picked, it doesn't mean you weren't good enough, just that we had to make a choice. Next time you might be more lucky, and by then your resume will probably have improved as well.
Yes, four ANN staff right now are former interns. But you really shouldn't look at it that way. The primary purpose of the internship for you should not be "get a job at ANN," it should be "improve my journalism skills."
To whom it may concern. Dear hiring manager. Dear ANN. Whatever....
ODT, PDF or DOC.
Sorry. It takes a lot of time to train new interns, and if the internship is too short, the investment on our part (in time) is significantly more than what we get back. You also won't benefit much from too short of an internship. We need time to assess your skills, provide feedback and then give you more challenging tasks.
It can take a while, sometimes as much as a month after the submissions are due. We're trying to improve that.
This does reflect somewhat badly on your ability to proof your own work before hitting "send" or "submit." That said, we generally only look at your final submission; we all make mistakes, so an updated submission won't hurt your chances... much. The auto-reply is only sent to the first submission.
The internships are always open. Last edited by Tempest on Fri Mar 18, 2016 10:20 pm; edited 13 times in total |

Are there any other positions available other than journalism internships and careers such as graphic design?

Nope. We can only offer internships in areas where we can offer guidance. We like free labor as much as any other company, but it's not fair to bring on an intern in an area where we can't teach the intern anything. We have considered a development intern (programming) in the past though. As we have a full-time, experienced developer on staff, it is something where we can give back. -t |

Unfortunately no. While we do have need of expertise in areas such as graphic design from time to time, we don't have the ability to mentor / teach someone to improve.

Hello, the job post states the deadline is on December 31 and thus emails will not be read until then. But the information states that the internship can start as early as September 1, what does this mean?
