Cumulus San Francisco Digital Department is seeking a Digital Content Intern to assist with website and social media content initiatives for The Bone radio station. Main responsibilities include writing and posting daily web content related to relevant music news. This may extend to content created around events and extending The Bone show content. Duties may include creating copy for the website and social media, attending and reviewing live performances, and more. Having an understanding of (and interest in) digital content, music news, and classic rock is a plus!
This opportunity is for college credit only.
Interns will develop experience in writing, editing, and content branding using Cumulus San Francisco station resources. May include opportunities to attend Bay Area concerts as well.
All training will be for the benefit of the trainees/interns and they will not displace regular employees, but work under close observation. The Cumulus San Francisco Digital Department will derive no immediate advantage from the activities of interns and, on occasion, the employer’s operations may be impeded while training interns. Interns are not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship and are not entitled to wages for the time spent in training.
Interns will have a flexible work schedule and are expected to work 60 hours per month.
