Internships at The Spectator for summer 2016. No CVs, please

NOTE: Applications are now closed.

Summer’s coming, and we’re looking for interns to spend a week or two with us here at The Spectator. We’re looking for people who love good journalism and understand how digital media works. The position will be paid (but not very much). We don’t mind where or whether you have gone to university; Frank Johnson was a superb editor of this magazine and he left school aged 16 (as have some of our editors). What matters is flair, imagination and enthusiasm: skills that you can’t really learn in any classroom.

We’re not looking for writers, per se: The Spectator is blessed with a large number of brilliant freelance writers whose skills we can call on. At 22 Old Queen Street, we commission, edit and do our best to make digital sparks fly. If you write well but can’t edit an audio file or make short video (or work out how to) then this internship is probably not for you.
