Streetsblog Denver is an affiliate of the Streetsblog Network of advocacy journalism sites. Our mission is to help make Denver a better place for walking, biking and transit by informing the livable streets movement and the broader community.  

We seek two interns to help us publish a weekly events calendar and contribute stories related to walking, biking and transit in Denver.

Duration:
This one-semester internship can be renewed.   

Compile and Publish Our Events Calendar:
Interns will compile a list of events and meetings related to walking, biking, transit and the livable streets movement in Denver. With that information, the intern will compose a post for our website. 

Each week should take approximately 3-6 hours of work. To balance the workload, we seek two interns. The interns will alternate weeks when they work, working together to ensure we post a list of events each week.

Write Stories:
Interns must propose (pitch), research (report), and write at least one story during the semester. Additional stories will be welcome. This will give the intern a published byline. 

Successful candidates will: 

• Consistently meet deadlines 
• Work with the Streetsblog editor 
• Visit several websites to identify events
• Receive emails with event information 
• Look at the agendas of public meetings to find items of interest to our readers 
• Compile a list of events according to our format
