(This is important.) You’re a newshound. You get the Internet and pop culture. You read DCist, Gawker and TechCrunch and think, “Hey, I can do that.” You want to build experience. You’re self-motivated. You like coffee shops. You hate ties. source

• Who we are We’re a blog. We’re based in D.C. We focus on telling lots of good information in small amounts of space. We pull content from all corners of the Internet and grab the most interesting details. We recontextualize and add personality. We like short sentences and telling good stories. We have hundreds of followers on Twitter and some influential fans. We’re self-motivated. We like coffee shops. We hate ties. source

• What we want We have one to two unpaid internships available between mid-May and August. We have years of writing, editing and design experience in the newspaper industry, and we’ll bestow it on you. You get a built-in, growing audience that is literate of the Web and will hang on your every word. You set your own hours (although we’ll hold you to at least 5-10 hours a week). You work in a coffee shop. No ties. Curious? Send a resume. source
