Flavorwire Summer 2013 Editorial Internship

Hi there. We’re currently looking for a few great editorial interns to join our team beginning in mid-May. Here’s what we want: Ideally you are a college or grad student who is pop culture-obsessed and funny, with a strong voice. You are a speedy writer with a bunch of websites that you can’t wait to check out each day, and an eye for what makes certain content go viral. You have a strong interest in and at least a little bit of experience with original reporting. You have past work or internship experience in a related field and are comfortable with generating creative ideas on your own, but willing to pitch in and write assigned pieces, as well as perform less glamorous tasks like research and transcription. You have at least a basic knowledge of Photoshop and HTML. You’re on Twitter and Tumblr, and familiar with bookmarking sites like Reddit and Digg. … Read More

Introducing Flavorwire 2.0

Hello Readers!

Welcome to the brand new Flavorwire. A little over four years ago, we decided to launch a culture blog that would cover everything from the front lines of emerging culture to the classic names you all know.

Along with our shiny new look, we plan to dive even deeper into our shared cultural obsessions, with a focus on creating original content that you won’t find anywhere else online. … Read More
