Internships

Internships are available year-round in our editorial and advertising, and marketing/business development departments. Hours vary from 10 to 40 per week, and internships usually last three months, often coinciding with the academic calendar. College credit is available, but because E Magazine is a non-profit endeavor, internships are unpaid.

As the largest independent environmental magazine on the newsstand today with a circulation of 50,000, E Magazine serves an important role as the voice for the environmental movement and as a vital information source on national and international coverage of environmental issues. Founded in 1990, E Magazine is sponsored by the Earth Action Network, a non-profit organization located in Norwalk, CT. In an attempt to stay consistent with our values and goals, we print our magazine on recycled paper and screen our advertisers carefully.
