Editorial Intern, Thought Leadership (SG)
Introduction:
Currently, the Thought Leadership (TL) division of The Economist is offering an exciting internship opportunity in Singapore. TL interns function like entry-level staff members—they don’t make copies, fetch coffee or answer phones. Interns work closely with TL’s editors and have the opportunity to work on live projects and contribute to research reports that will help advance their careers. TL’s internship program is competitive; we look for interns that have a profound interest in journalism, research and/or technology. The interns time will split across a range of projects including: a ground-breaking “Smart Cities” research project looking at the value “smart” initiatives can bring to citizens; and a “Connecting capabilities” index assessing the effectiveness of Asia-Pacific companies at utilising digital connections.

• Write, proof or fact-check reports (not essential, but possible for someone with the right skill set)
• Manage creative content—working with designers to create project website, infographics and motion graphics for video

• Work experience or previous internship in journalism/research or the telecommunications sector is preferred but not required
