Editorial and Research Internships
Dowsr, a social change storytelling organization, seeks Editorial Interns and Research Interns.
EDITORIAL INTERN Interns are needed to read, revise and comment on Dowsr interviews to prepare them for publication. Duties include researching interviewing and storytelling techniques, and develop guidelines and modules for future Dowsr content. Also, interns will conduct online research and phone interviews of socially innovative organizations, update and expand the Dowsr "Map of Innovation" database, and create dynamic organization profiles for dowsr.org. Finally, interns will create featured site content such as digital timelines of social movements, social organizations and the lives of changemakers.
QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS Both internships are opportunities to contribute at the ground level to what promises to become a leading social change media organization. As a young organization, we expect interns to help us co-create new projects and website features. Positions are flexible and can be molded to fit the strengths and interests of the intern.
All interns should have strong writing skills, the ability to self-manage, and the creativity, flexibility and sense of humor needed to work in a small and busy office. Journalism experience is a plus, but not necessary. Both internships are unpaid. A 12-18 hour weekly commitment is required for at least eight weeks—this time can be divided between work from home and from our Upper West Side office.
DOWSR BACKGROUND Dowsr is an open web platform for changemakers to share stories that inspire positive action, provide practical 'how-to' insights, connect potential colleagues and – above all – provide a solution-oriented view of the world that highlights the growing landscape of creative social innovation. For our first project we are recruiting students and interns across the country to interview changemakers in a range of fields and organize and publish the interviews online. We will incorporate photographic essays, creative nonfiction and video stories as the project progresses.
Dowsr is intended to fill a need that has been identified through market research by people who seek to pursue careers of social impact, but don't know where to look for advice, ideas, encouragement or colleagues. It is also designed to provide a counterpart to the dispiriting view of the world presented by conventional media, which highlights problems and overlooks solutions. We specialize in asking thoughtful questions of people doing creative social-change work, recording their answers faithfully, and organizing the content so that it can be easily retrieved.
Dowsr was founded by David Bornstein (author, How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas) and launched with assistance from the Reynolds Program for Social Entrepreneurship at New York University. Dowsr has received support from the Skoll Foundation, the Kellner Foundation and the William James Foundation.
HOW TO APPLY Please submit a resume, cover letter (specifying which internship you are applying for and why) and a short writing sample (no more than two pages) to Amanda@dowsr.org. Please don't hesitate to e-mail with questions--our website is not yet public. Review of applications will occur on a rolling basis until positions are filled.

In other words, why should readers be interested in what you’re saying, and why should you be the one to say it? 2.

As a columnist, how will your beat relate to the Columbia community? If you can, name one or two issues, events, etc. that occurred on campus last year that would fall under your beat. 3. Keeping up a 900-word column every two weeks can be challenging in the midst of a busy semester. What makes you think you're capable of handling it?
