About Us

Overview
We are looking for a rising junior or senior journalism student or recent graduate who is eager to join our web team in pursuing its mission as an Editorial Fellow for the publication. The Editorial Fellow will work remotely, and report directly to the Managing Editor and assist the Associate Editor while building on their writing/reporting, research, and digital media skills.
Details
The Editorial Fellowship will be for 10-12 weeks, starting in late May or early June. The position is part-time and the Fellow must be available at least 20-24 hours each week. Faithfully Media, LLC (Faithfully Magazine’s parent company) will provide a stipend of $1,000-$1,200 for the term of the Fellowship. In addition, the Editorial Fellowship may be done for course credit.
