This is an opportunity to join the award-winning team at Edify magazine, Edmonton’s pre-eminent city lifestyle publication. We’re known for our compelling journalism, bold design, and deep connection to the local community — we’re looking for someone who’s eager to contribute to all aspects of a modern magazine brand.
You’re passionate about storytelling and excited to learn about magazine publishing from every angle — print, web and social media. You thrive in fast-paced environments, are always up for discovering something new, and can represent Edify with curiosity, confidence and professionalism.
You have a strong writing voice that’s distinct and clear, and understand how to tailor that voice across different platforms. You are plugged into the social-media zeitgeist, but you’re proud that your writing voice isn’t influenced by Instagram or marketing-speak. You’re familiar with WordPress and social media tools, and have experience with CP Style and fact-checking best practices.
This opportunity is a paid 14-week internship (40 hours per week) located at our Edmonton office, with a planned start date of mid-September 2025. The role must be filled by a candidate who is currently enrolled in, or a recent graduate of (within the last five years), an accredited post-secondary institution. You cannot have previously held an intern position at any Alberta magazine through the Alberta Magazine Publishers Association program.
Qualifications
The successful applicant will have:
- Strong writing and editing skills, with an eye for detail and accuracy
- Familiarity with WordPress, Google Workspace and social media platforms
- Enthusiasm for lifestyle journalism and community-focused storytelling
- Ability to meet deadlines, work collaboratively and pitch creative ideas
What You’ll Do
- Gain hands-on experience with all facets of magazine production: print, web and social
- Contribute to the development of Edify’s weekly e-newsletters
- Conduct interviews, write stories and assist with fact-checking
- Work closely on Edify‘s dining and arts coverage — two of our most-read areas
- Participate in editorial meetings and pitch story ideas
- Attend Edify-hosted and partner events as a brand ambassador
Your résumé and cover letter should be black type on a white document in a clear font. Do not send graphics, charts or LinkedIn rankings of your capabilities — we want to see how well you write and describe yourself. Please include up to three writing samples in PDF format.
