Editorial Projects in Education - Live and Virtual Events Associate

Editorial Projects in Education seeks an intern who wants to be treated more as a team associate or colleague to actively write for, manage the content for, and develop new engagement ideas for Education Week live & virtual event’s Facebook, Instagram & Twitter pages. Intern will play a pivotal role on the Events Team as we manage a growing portfolio of live and virtual events and extend the work of the leading news organization covering American K-12 education.

We seek a confident team player with a leadership/take-charge personality who can help develop, position, and promote the content of public live and virtual programs for our K-12 subscribers and new audiences alike.

Tasks
Ideal candidate possesses the ability to spearhead, collaborate, and generally drive the bus on a wide range of the activities including the following:
• Writing and editing social media for Education Week Events.
• Creating and maintaining a comprehensive social media strategy to promote live and virtual events, including monitoring blog posts from edweek.org to promote social media and webinars.
• Organizing and planning (and then evaluating results from) live and virtual events.
• Working with editorial colleagues to organize webinar speakers and the legal documentation of their virtual events.
• Identifying and selecting relevant content for edweekevents.org
• Processing photos, video, and other multimedia work from the Web for public communications
• Organizing and sometimes running cross departmental live events team meetings when the Director of Programming, Live and Virtual Events is out of the office or on travel
• Writing weekly and monthly reports analyzing the effectiveness of social media and other communications sent through this team.
• Spearheading creative and innovative projects to improve Education Week Event’s social media presence—including use of LinkedIn, Storify, Wordpress, or other communication tools.

Qualifications
Candidates should possess working knowledge of both education and media and have an outstanding grasp of Facebook, Twitter & social media platforms listed above. Candidates should have strong communication skills both written and verbal. We prefer big-picture thinkers who possess a sound aptitude for details in both longer-form written content and social media content development. Web-production experience, understanding of graphics and photo editing and moderate HTML skills are a plus, but not required. Experience with organizing events is highly valued.

Self-motivated, reliable, prompt candidates with a strong work ethic and a highly developed sense of humor excel here. You must be able to meet deadlines, juggle several tasks simultaneously, work under pressure, and then know how to enjoy yourself.

Education Week needs a commitment of 20+ hours per week for its part time interns, preferring two to three days a week. Interns are paid $11.50 per hour.

Undergraduates, recent graduates, and graduate students are encouraged to apply. Go-getters most highly sought after.

We especially welcome associates with an interest in K-12 education, media and journalism, event promotions, event marketing, social media communications, public relations, and/or production experience.

With the 2018 midterm elections coming, we expect to be producing live and virtual events around the national elections. If you are particularly interested in the politics of K-12 education, we encourage you to apply.

Metro-accessible on Red Line in downtown Bethesda.

Please send cover letter, resume, and/or links to work that best demonstrates your skill to:

Matthew Cibellis
Director of Programming, Live & Virtual Events
Education Week
6935 Arlington Road
