The ASME Internship Program is a ten-week summer program, offering paid internships for college students at magazines and websites in New York and Washington. Since the program was founded in 1967, 2,000 rising college seniors have worked as ASME interns. Nearly 500 have gone on to successful careers in print and electronic journalism.
ASME interns report, write, fact-check and copy-edit for print and online publications. They may sometimes interview celebrities, attend press conferences and work the red carpet—but most of the summer they do the un-glam but essential work of magazine journalism.
The program begins with three days of orientation, when interns are schooled in the fundamentals of reporting, fact checking and copy editing. During the summer, interns attend special events in New York and Washington and meet regularly with top editors.
ASME interns are paid the minimum wage in the city or state where their assigned magazine or website is based.
ASME Internship Program orientation begins Wednesday, May 28. ASME interns work at their assigned magazines and websites from Monday, June 2, to Friday, August 8.
