WildNewJersey.tv is excited to offer internships for nature enthusiasts looking to contribute to the state's only daily wildlife and conservation news blog. Internships can specialize in either stories, videos, or social media promotion, and are offered remotely. That's right - you can intern for Wild New Jersey from the comfort of your own home, and the convenience of your laptop or pc.
Internships
are offered on a volunteer basis, at least initially, and Wild New
Jersey will work with schools to help students earn credits where
applicable. A few hours a week are all that would be needed. Past
interns have included students and alumni of Rutgers, Fairleigh
Dickinson, New York University, and a variety of other universities and
colleges, as well as high school students.

Interns may choose between the following roles as their focus areas:
—Researching wildlife, nature, and conservation news
—Writing original stories about nature destinations, events, and issues
—Promoting nature issues through social media
—Book promotion and event planning
—Photographing events and nature destinations
—Filming videos that promote New Jersey nature and wildlife
For
those with already busy schedules, involvement can be limited to roles
like writing up brief stories on a recent nature event, or researching
nature news one morning each week, or spending a few hours each week on
Twitter and Facebook expanding Wild New Jersey's presence to better
connect the conservation movement in New Jersey.
Anyone interested should email Jillian Weislo of Wild New Jersey at wildnewjersey@edisonwetlands.org.
