I intern in the Editorial Department of Orange Coast Magazine in Orange
County, California.
2) How long have you been interning?
I have been interning since June 21, since my school (Stanford University)
is on the quarter system and gets out late; I haven't even been out of
school for a month!
3) What are some of your day to day duties?
So far, I've been responsible for fact-checking articles, as well as have
embarked on my first project, a compilation of information about the Twitter
activities of prominent Orange County natives and residents, from Kobe
Bryant to the Angels' Rally Monkey.
4) If you won the lottery what's the first purchase you would make?
I would invest most of my winnings, donate some to The American Cancer
Society (two of my grandparents died of cancer), and splurge on a Marc by
Marc Jacobs handbag that'd I've had my eye on for awhile.
5) Any big projects you are working on for the summer at Emmis?
I'm going to be working on the Coast Lines pages, and like I previously
mentioned, am currently working on a project that tracks the activities of
prominent Orange County Tweeters.
6) What do you plan to accomplish this summer during your internship?
My only previous journalism experience has been in radio (I'm Co-Director of
News for KZSU, Stanford's radio station) and newspaper (I'm currently a
Features editor for The Stanford Daily and have worked for The Orange County
Register as a freelancer), and I'm excited to work for Emmis and Orange
Coast because this internship will provide me with experience working on the
editorial side of magazine publication. I hope to learn about the ins and
outs of magazine journalism, for instance, what makes an entertaining, but
insightful piece, how to properly format an article, and what style to use
when crafting a piece.
