We seek journalists with a commitment to accuracy and detail as well as a knack for telling Milwaukee's stories to our 200,000-plus readers. You'll be doing plenty of fact-checking. You'll balance that with some writing for our print editions and our website, milwaukeemag.com. You'll also be involved in larger research projects.

In many cases, they've returned to our offices for full-time jobs or become regular freelance contributors.

Applications will be accepted until December 10th finalists will be contacted for an interview. No phone calls please. Qualifications Interns will work 15-20 hours a week. The internship is currently a hybrid schedule. You should have experience working in a journalistic environment, be it a professional or a student publication.

We offer excellent benefits to eligible employees, including 401(k), holidays, vacations and more.
