Now Accepting Applications for the Jingkids Summer Internship!

You’ve been asking us for weeks, and we’re excited to announce that we are now ready to start accepting applications for this year’s Jingkids International Summer Internship!

We’re calling all aspiring writers to work with us this summer to learn the ins and outs of the media industry and have their work published in this year’s Jingkids Teen Takeover issue.

Whether you’re looking to break into the media industry, build up your writing portfolio, land an excellent professional recommendation for that college application, become more integrated into the community, or simply something meaningful to do this summer, this internship with Beijing’s top family magazine will offer you just that. It will be demanding and rewarding in equal measure.

We are looking for teens to write for both our website, WeChat account, and magazine while making valuable contributions to the day-to-day running of Jingkids. This is an internship where you’ll be treated as an equal member of our team.

You will:
– Pitch, research, and write articles for the magazine
– Blog regularly for the jingkids website and WeChat account
– Receive training on interview techniques, editing, and essential aspects of journalism
– Help plan and execute events for our community
– Interact with professionals in marketing, sales, finance, design, and editorial

You should be:
– A fluent English speaker with strong writing and editing skills
– Web-savvy and fluent in social media
– Self-motivated and enthusiastic, and keen to build community connections
– Able to manage your own time well and be a dependable member of the team

You do not need to be:
– Fluent in Chinese, though it will certainly help
– Good at making tea/coffee (except for fixing your own!)

You will walk away with:
– Professional media experience
– A collection of published works (both online and in print)
– A professional recommendation letter for your college application
– New friendships and a deeper understanding of Beijing
