Duties include writing and posting content to the XLR8R website, writing record reviews, assisting with the preparation of web graphics, logging incoming releases, and helping with general organizational tasks. This intern will also help with the management of XLR8R.com’s social networking accounts (MySpace, Facebook, Twitter).

All internships are unpaid, and require a commitment of 8-10 hours per week, for 4-6 months. Eligible applicants will have excellent communication skills, knowledge of Microsoft Office, and be email- and internet savvy. Knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite and HTML are a plus. Journalism students are strongly encouraged to apply.
