Atlantic Media in Brief — A Dynamic Magazine and Online Media Publisher
Based in Washington, DC, Atlantic Media is the parent company of The Atlantic, National Journal, Government Executive, CongressDaily, The Hotline, The Almanac of American Politics and a host of companion news services and websites. The enterprise has a 150-year history of publishing the greatest talent in letters and journalism including Walt Whitman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Edith Wharton, Booker T. Washington, Jack London, Robert Frost, Gertrude Stein, Rudyard Kipling, John Steinbeck, Truman Capote, Joseph Heller, Virginia Woolf, Paul Bellow, Philip Roth, John Updike, V.S. Naipaul, Gore Vidal, Gary Wills, Salman Rushdie and Amy Tan.
Today, we count among our diverse editorial talent Andrew Sullivan, James Fallows, Caitlin Flanagan, Robert Kaplan, Mark Bowden, Stuart Taylor, Jr., Ronald Brownstein, Jeffrey Goldberg, Virginia Postrel, Matthew Yglesias, Megan McArdle, Marc Ambinder, and Ross Douthat.
Our Atlantic Media Fellowship Program — Selecting 5-10 Fellows
Atlantic Media is now seeking 5-10 exceptional or aspiring writers, editors and other online media talents to serve as Atlantic Media Fellows for the Fall of 2008 through the Spring of 2009. Candidates should be current students in or recent graduates of college or graduate school programs.
Atlantic Media Fellows join the staff of Atlantic Media — helping launch, research, write and edit new websites. Fellows are paid $30,000-$40,000 (depending on experience) for the nine-month appointment.
Fellows are expected to begin their service at Atlantic Media in September 2008 and continue through May 2009. There is some prospect, but no certainty, that Fellows may be offered employment with Atlantic Media following the fellowship.
Fellowship Focus for 2008-2009 — Creating and Launching New Websites
The larger focus for our 2008-2009 Fellows will be creating and launching new websites for Atlantic Media. Fellows will help conceive new web concepts, develop their structure, design and voice, and complete the daily operations, writing and editing once the publications are launched. This is website creation from first to last.
Attributes Sought — Extreme Talent in Writing, Editing and Digital Media
In deciding among candidates, Atlantic Media seeks in all Fellows three “Pillar Qualities.” In addition, there is a set of attributes — sought but not required — that may advance a candidacy.
SELECTION CRITERIA
“Pillar Qualities” Sought in All Fellows
Force of Intellect
Atlantic Media seeks in its Fellows a high intelligence as manifested, often, in an exceptional academic record at one of the nation’s more competitive colleges.
Spirit of Generosity
Equally, Atlantic Media seeks what we term a spirit of generosity — a natural disposition towards service and selfless conduct.
Power of Creativity
Innovative ideas with the enthusiasm and intuition to implement those ideas should be at the core of all Fellows.
Additional Attributes Sought but Not Required
(truly spiking as to even one quality, below, is entirely sufficient)
Exceptional writing voice
Acute wit that may manifest itself in headlines, photo captions, original satire
Knowledge of markets, the economy and global business
Strong world view informed by classic liberal values
Keen marketing intuition or online operations expertise
Strong designer’s eye
Strong technical or Human-Computer Interactivity (HCI) skills
APPLICATION PROCESS
Step #1 - Resume and Memo Submitted by May 8, 2008
The Atlantic Media Fellowship application includes no form. Instead, we ask that you sunmit a copy of your resume plus one essay — a memo written to our editors critiquing a news website. Some further guidance on the memo is offered below.
Guidance on the Memo
The news and business terrains on the web are unimaginably crowded. As to traffic, the television-based websites dominate — CNN.com, MSNBC.com. As to news for high-end readers, the great newspapers have crowded in — NYT.com, WashingtonPost.com, WSJ.com. All the major business magazines have news websites — Forbes.com, BusinessWeek.com, Fortune.com, FastCompany.com. And, as to original entrants, web journalism is host to many new competitors: The Drudge Report, HuffingtonPost, RealClearPolitics and so forth.
Our request is that you choose one or more of the major news websites and offer a critique of the strengths and weaknesses you see in their execution. We would welcome, especially, any original ideas you have for how the news might be covered, presented, or organized differently.
Please keep your memo to a limit of 1500 words.
Step #2 — Semi-finalists chosen for working weekend in Washington, DC (May 31-June 1)
Based on the resumes and memoranda submitted, Atlantic Media will choose up to 20 candidates to spend a working weekend with us in Washington. The daytime hours will be spent developing - alone and in teams - a fuller concept for the look and content of a new website that might be created. Atlantic Media will set out the goals and guidelines and have editors available to work with the candidates. Friday and Saturday evenings will be spent at dinner with Atlantic Media writers.
Atlantic Media will pay all travel, lodging and incidental expenses for each candidate invited to Washington.
Step #3 — Atlantic Media Fellows Announced on June 6, 2008
MAY 8TH DEADLINE
Submitting Your Application
Please submit your resume and memorandum to Atlantic Media no later than midnight on the night of May 8, 2008 by clicking here. After inputting your contact information:
paste the 1500 word memo in the field reserved for a cover letter
paste your resume in the field reserved for a resume
Please note, formatting will be lost in both fields.
Atlantic Media is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
By submitting a proposal for the Atlantic Media Fellowship, you represent and warrant that your proposal is your original content and that you grant Atlantic Media all rights to it and any derivative ideas therein.
