Extreme Talent Wanted

Are you a young or aspiring journalist interest in new media? If so, you should definitely consider applying for the new Atlantic Media Fellowship:

Our Atlantic Media Fellowship Program — Selecting 5-10 Fellows

Atlantic Media is now seeking 5-10 exceptional or aspiring writers, editors and other online media talents to serve as Atlantic Media Fellows for the Fall of 2008 through the Spring of 2009. Candidates should be current students in or recent graduates of college or graduate school programs.

Atlantic Media Fellows join the staff of Atlantic Media — helping launch, research, write and edit new websites. Fellows are paid $30,000-$40,000 (depending on experience) for the nine-month appointment.

Fellows are expected to begin their service at Atlantic Media in September 2008 and continue through May 2009. There is some prospect, but no certainty, that Fellows may be offered employment with Atlantic Media following the fellowship.

Fellowship Focus for 2008-2009 — Creating and Launching New Websites

The larger focus for our 2008-2009 Fellows will be creating and launching new websites for Atlantic Media. Fellows will help conceive new web concepts, develop their structure, design and voice, and complete the daily operations, writing and editing once the publications are launched. This is website creation from first to last.

Our offices also feature a popcorn machine, which is pretty neat.
