| I'm interning with a magazine at present. I love every second of it, although it means my other writing doesn't get much attention.
I *think* I'm learning a lot from it and especially like coming up with new intros and headlines. I haven't done any of my own stories of course - it's all editing and rewriting at the moment, and a bit of page layout. I love magazine journalism. It's not just reporting news but also explaining and analysing it. Also, unlike newspapers, most people don't throw away magazines immediately.
What I hope to do in the long run is become a specialist who analysis International Affairs in a regular column. Ah well, I suppose there are a few billion years left before that happens. | |

| Congrats ReNu! I love the idea of this, it just seems like it would be so much fun and a great learning experience. Even if all you're doing is editing that can be invaluable. I'm sure it will help your own writing just by having the opportunity to see how others do it.
Same question as Emily though...what type of magazine is it? I'm sure the vast majoirty are run in basically the same manner, but the topic would probably make it more or less interesting. | |

| It's a weekly - covers politics, bit of lifestyle, books and sport. There's a supplement on health or finance every other week.
Emily, I had NO idea there were so many different kinds of journalism either, even after completing my course - magazine, newspaper, television, radio and internet were the only ones I thought existed. There's Agency journalism, Gonzo, Convergence and others I haven't even heard of. | |
