Here at The Rapidian, we are moving forward in full force to continue developing the growth of community journalism, an important part of the community. There are so many exciting things we hope to introduce to our readers and reporters in the coming weeks and months. With this growth, we’ve come to realize that a few extra helping hands could go a very long way. We decided it was time to revamp the internship postings on our website, and now we want to share these opportunities with you. These positions are not just for writing or journalism majors, we want to extend an invitation for all majors at all local colleges to apply as well as the general public of non-students. We're looking for passionate people that can liven up the Rapidian world in their own way, and yes, writing chops are also expected for most of the available positions. I urge you to think outside of the box, though, as it takes more than writing genius to be influential in community journalism. We are excited to start the new year with some new people on board so check out the opportunities below:
Innovation Community Reporting Intern
The Rapidian is seeking an innovation community reporting intern that will build relationships with local innovation and entrepreneurial hubs to build up our Innovation Spotlight section. Applicants with a keen interest in finding out not only what is happening now but learning about the history of innovation in the area and who was behind the story are encouraged to apply. Learn more about the specifics here.
Beat Intern
The Rapidian is seeking a beat intern to build a core community of citizen journalists reporting on content from one specific area of interest. Currently, The Rapidian is in need of starting a local music beat and a local writers beat for the winter/spring (but we're always coming up with new ideas and would like to hear yours as well). Applicants interested as much in building a community as they are in building content are encouraged to apply. Learn more about the specifics here.

We need your help.
