Editorial and Social Media Intern

The Spectator is looking for an enthusiastic and creatively minded intern to join our growing New York team. 

Founded in 1828, The Spectator is Britain’s most influential magazine, known for its sharp journalism, commentary and coverage of politics, culture and current affairs. In recent years, The Spectator has been growing abroad rapidly, particularly in the United States as it expands its US edition, audience and editorial operation.

As part of that growth, we have opened a new permanent home for The Spectator in Manhattan. The space brings the US editorial team together alongside a podcast studio and dedicated space for talks, debates, parties and other events. It’s an exciting time for the publication in America as we build on our presence across print, digital, video, audio, social media and in-person events. 

We’re looking for an intern who can become a key part of the operation. This is a varied editorial role with a particular focus on social media and digital content. The successful intern will help us turn The Spectator's journalism, podcasts, video, events and marketing campaigns into engaging content for our social channels.

A large part of the role will involve producing social media assets, like graphics and article cards to short-form video clips, so existing familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (mainly Photoshop and Premiere Pro) is important. You do not need to be an expert, but you should be comfortable with the basics
