With our summer interns preparing to bid TPG farewell, we’re looking to hire a new batch for the fall to come work in our spacious new office in NYC’s Flatiron District. This isn’t your average internship — you won’t be making coffee runs or standing by the printer all day. This is a real-world, hands-on internship and you can expect to walk away with serious media experience, including dozens of editorial clips. We’ve also been known to offer some pretty fantastic travel perks.Our internship pays well — $20 per hour — and you’ll be working directly with the editors and social media team. If you’re a college student (currently a junior, senior or graduate student) who meets the requirements below, please apply through this link.Internship DescriptionEditorial interns will monitor travel industry news, research various topics (mostly about aviation, credit cards, and hotels) and write daily news posts for the site — note that a quick turnaround time is often required.
