Onion Inc. is an American multimedia news organization. It features satirical articles and reporting on international, national, and local news as well as an entertainment newspaper and website known as A.V. Club.

The Onion's articles comment on current events, both real and imagined. It parodies traditional newspaper and media features, such as editorials, man-on-the-street interviews, and stock quotes, as well as traditional newspaper layout and AP-style editorial voice. Much of its humor depends on presenting everyday events as newsworthy items, and by playing on commonly used phrases, as in the headline, "Drugs Win Drug War”.

In addition, a second part of the newspaper is a non-satirical entertainment section called A.V. Club. A.V. Club features interviews and reviews of various newly released media, and other weekly features. The print edition also contains restaurant reviews and previews of upcoming live entertainment specific to cities where a print edition is published. The online incarnation of The A.V. Club has its own domain, includes its own regular features, A.V. Club blogs, reader forums/comments, and presents itself as a separate entity from The Onion itself.

America’s Finest News Source is looking for a team of two interns to serve the editorial department this spring. The internship will start on May 3rd, 2013 and will run through August 30th, 2013.

The editorial internship is a strictly non-writing position. It is neither a creative internship nor a comedy internship; there will be no opportunities to write or pitch headlines. Most duties will involve aiding the general editorial process, helping to compile, track and organize content, conducting research, collecting data and maintaining spreadsheets, and assisting writers and editors with various special assignments. That said, some small creative tasks may be assigned if interns prove themselves to be reliable.

Ideal candidates are detail oriented and possess prior editorial experience, strong research and organizational skills, and an extensive familiarity with The Onion.

This is an unpaid internship. College credit can be made available. 

 Those interested should submit a resume AND cover letter (please attach one document containing both) by Wednesday April 3rd, 2013. Please do not send writing samples.

The Onion is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Interested and qualified applicants should apply online. Please, no phone calls.
