SABR internship: Great opportunity for aspiring baseball writers
If you’ve got some journalism and multimedia skills and you know a little something about baseball, you might be interested in a Spring 2012 internship with the Society for American Baseball Research.
The unpaid internship is based in SABR’s Phoenix office. According to the online posting:
This internship will include responsibilities across a variety of disciplines, possibly including:
- Interviewing SABR members and other figures in the baseball research community
- Writing and editing stories
- Taking photographs and shooting/editing video
- Posting content online using the Drupal content management system
- Engaging the baseball research community through social media and other platforms
- Helping to develop special editorial projects for SABR.org
- Working on-site at a local SABR event, such as the spring baseball analytics conference or Arizona Fall League Conference
And an important note: “A working knowledge of baseball—and an awareness of the game’s general history and basic statistics—is required.”
If you’re in or can get to Phoenix and can spare 15-20 hours a week in the spring, this looks like a great opportunity. Deadline to apply is Nov. 15.
