Rapid Media is looking for talented, hard-working interns for our editorial department. If you can paddle, spell and want to live in our small paddling town, we’d love to hear from you. We’re particularly interested in candidates from writing and journalism programs, and those with strong skills in social media and web content management systems.
This four-month internship entails writing, editing, and coordinating social media and web content posts. It begins in September 2014.
You need to be organized, self-directed and passionate about paddling—including kayak touring, canoeing, whitewater, kayak fishing and standup paddle boarding. We are based in the beautiful Ottawa Valley; Palmer Rapids to be specific. You must be willing to live here or travel here during the week. Public transit is not available. Our office is located right on the Madawaska River, five minutes from class II-III+ rapids, less than an hour from the mighty Ottawa River. We paddle regularly and it is not unusual for us to go swimming at lunchtime.
Start date: September, 2014.
