Freelance writing, The Faster Times (internship), pays $30 for reported pieces (SoHo)

The Faster Times, a new type of newspaper for a new type of world, seeks strong writers with a serious interest in online media for its Fall 2011 Internship. Experience is nice but not necessary; above all, we're seeking top talent.

The Faster Times was launched in July, 2009 as one cure for the slow death of American journalism. Since it's inception, The Faster Times has grown by bounds, employing an amazing team of journalists from around the world. We're a young, forward-thinking publication that
utilizes the most progressive online media strategies. Our interns have always played key roles in our operation. Many of our top editors are former interns.

At The Faster Times, your days won't be filled with coffee runs, mail delivery and photocopying. Simply put: you'll write, you'll edit, and you'll learn every key skill you need to become employed in today's evolving online media world. This is an exciting time for online media, and you'll play an important role in our fast-growing company.

Not to be egotistical, but we think you'll enjoy the loose, fast-paced environment in our Soho district office. Our staff is young and talented, and we'll give you every opportunity to accumulate hundreds of clips, learn, and progress upwards in our company.

The internship is unpaid, but interns regularly earn $30 for reported pieces that are pitched to/approved by the editorial team.
