The Mansueto Ventures Editorial Fellowship is a one-year internship designed to give recent college graduates or master’s degree recipients exposure to all aspects of journalism across both of the company’s editorial titles—Inc. and Fast Company—while providing important visibility into the business operations of the parent company through administrative support of the CEO/chief content officer, chief operating officer, and the editors-in-chief of the two publications.
  
This role will require in office presence Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Hourly rate: $23.
 
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
The fellow will spend six months of the internship primarily reporting and writing for Inc., followed by six months writing and reporting for Fast Company. However, the curriculum will enable the fellow to interact with journalists and business leaders from both titles throughout the year, providing valuable insights into how news publications may approach stories differently or where they may find opportunities for collaboration.

Where appropriate, the fellow may be invited to observe or participate in meetings with visiting executives.
