Job and internship opportunities, July 2010

This post is also available in Spanish

This month we highlight 20 new multimedia opportunities that we came across in our monthly perusal of job boards. Two are internships; one is part-time; the rest are full-time. And, just as a side note, Bean Interactive won this month with the most creative job ad, ending “If you made it this far and are thinking, ‘I am so perfect for this job they might as well have called it “[YOUR NAME HERE]’s New Job” in the listing,’ then we want to hear from you.” Love it!

Online Intern at The Roanoke Times in Roanoke, VA

Paid internship to run through the end of 2010, with preference given to students who have had previous internships.

What’s it like to work in The Roanoke Times’ newsroom?

Some things are a given. Like getting to work with the latest applications and technology. And being surrounded by journalists who recognize the future is not just on the web.

Here, as an online intern, you’ll push your colleagues to do their best work. They’ll turn around and do the same for you — all of which makes us the leading provider of news and information in Southwest Virginia.

What matters is being able to use the best technologies to help a great company perform even better. As an online intern, you’ll put your demonstrated technical and graphic skills into play as Web presentations that tell a story in words, audio, photos and video.

You’ll help take our news and sports coverage way beyond reproducing the printed newspaper on the Web. You’ll produce innovative, high-quality microsites. Those pages will regularly include interactive infographics, slide shows and streaming audio/video. You’ll shoot daily or breaking news video. You’ll help us as we take our information and stories beyond the homepage, directly to where our community orbits – in social networks, on their BlackBerries, in their laptops and beyond.
