"In the News" is the category on the site where events and noteworthy cultural news is posted. "In the News" consists of gallery and museum exhibition openings, food and wine event announcements, music event announcements, hotel openings, and anything of cultural note for our readers who are visiting one of the regions we write about.

The Intern will hunt down news items and write the entries (either from press releases or from scratch, depending on what's available) and post them in the appropriate WordPress blog.

Intern Requirements:

• Interest in the arts.
• Verbal and written communication skills.
• Written command of the English language.
• Understanding of how blog software works.
• Eye for detail.
• Ability to research online.
• Interest in learning the ropes of running a multilevel web site.
• Must be reliable and able to fulfill commitment to the site.

Nice To Have:

• Interest in travel.
• Interest in geography.
• Interest in or knowledge of European languages.other than English
• Ability to resize images in photoshop.

While the site doesn't have a budget for employees, what you will get is intern experience, mentoring, an entry on your resume, a reference, posting under your own name, and your name added to the contributors' list.

While living in the SF Bay Area is not a requirement, as 99% of the job will be telecommuting, it would be helpful for face to face meetings.

When it comes to business, we're all about the web.

Why should we own a warehouse stocked full of our favorite art and travel related book and gear recommendations when amazon.com already provides that service quite well?

No one can price and distribute art supplies better or faster than DickBlick.

There is no reason to invest in expensive photo printing equipment when Shutterfly produces professional quality prints out of the site's photographs.

Travel Services? Kayak, Travelocity, Hotwire, and CheapTickets do it much better than we ever could.

T-Shirts and coffee mug swag? CafePress.com

Phone service? Skype.com VoIP

And in 2009 we're looking forward to producing our first coffee table books by using the environmentally correct method of print-on-demand services of Blurb.com.

The web is a large and intricately linked tangle of businesses and services that, when we put them to good use, enhance the artist-at-large.com experience.

That gives us time and energy to focus on the writing, the inspiration, and helping in the planning of your next project or journey.

And that is how we do business!

Enjoy!
