You’ve been asking us for weeks now, and with the Covid restrictions in Beijing finally easing, we’re excited to announce that we’re opening up for applications for this year’s jingkids summer internship!

We’re calling all aspiring writers to work with us this summer to learn the ins and outs of the media industry and have their work published in this year’s jingkids Teen Takeover issue.

Whether you’re looking to break into the media industry, build up your writing portfolio, land an excellent professional recommendation for that college application, or simply become more integrated into the community, this internship with Beijing’s top family magazine will offer you just that. It’ll be demanding and rewarding in equal measure.

Anyone looking to spend the summer fetching coffee and playing on their phones all day should stop reading now.

We are looking for teens to write for our website and magazine and make valuable contributions to the day-to-day running of jingkids. This is an internship where you’ll be treated like an equal member of the team.

You will:

• Pitch, research, and write articles for the magazine

• Blog regularly for the jingkids website.

• Update and maintain our Facebook and Instagram accounts

• Receive training on interviewing techniques, editing, and essential aspects of journalism

• Help plan and execute events for our community

• Interact daily with professionals in marketing, sales, finance, design, and editorial

You should be:

• A fluent English speaker with strong writing and editing skills
