Journalism Jobs and Internships

Nike is currently seeking the next Nike Field Reporter and we’re combing universities across the nation in search of the ideal candidate.

The NFR is a sports enthusiast’s dream job; a roving correspondent who’ll hang with world’s top athletes, artists, musicians and designers and report back to Nike Women across the globe. She’ll jet set across the country, attending sporting events, experiencing the latest fashion and workout trends ready to document her findings with videos, photos and blog postings.

The contest to find the next NFR starts April 1st. The winning girl will be put on an 8-month contract with Nike and will have access to the highest profile athletes, events and celebrities. We have huge plans for the coming year, and whoever is selected will emerge from this experience with a resume and a reel that will put them head and shoulders above the rest as they leave school and enter this highly competitive job market.

The contest website goes live April 1st at:

Sylvania Advantage is a twice-monthly tabloid-size publication ranging from 24 to 32 pages depending on advertising space sold. The publication features articles and press releases submitted pertaining to the Sylvania and Sylvania Township area. Different sections in the publication include: Community Events; Community News: Social News; Business News: School and Sports News: and Community Affairs.

I would encourage expanding the scope of the pub to include additional feature, sports, school and government-related articles.

Positions available could range between four to 10 hours per week and include writers for general stories including the above or writers with specific task assignments such as covering Sylvania City Council and Sylvania Township meetings. Sylvania Advantage pays $25 per story.

Potential interns or students desiring free lance writing assignments need to submit a resume to me via email (sylvaniaadvantage@ambt.net) prior to scheduling a personal interview.

I wanted to reach out to you and let you know about a great internship opportunity we have available for the summer. Our company is Allied Integrated Marketing and we are a full service publicity/promotions agency that primarily works with all the major motion picture studios (Universal, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, etc) to promote their movies across the country.

We’re currently looking for a couple of interested sophomores/juniors who have a passion for entertainment and movies to help promote their films locally in Cleveland. What this would entail would be distributing passes to advanced screenings of the movies, attending and working the advanced screenings, plan movie related events on and off campus and overall promoting our films.

The best part is, the internship is a paid position!

Please let me know if any of your PR students would be interested in this unique opportunity to work directly for Hollywood from their home here in the Cleveland area. We are interested in hiring an intern for this summer, with a possible opportunity to stay on for the fall semester. Our office is located in Cleveland Heights, OH.

Please have interested applicants e-mail their resume to me at jleveto@alliedim.com.
