Marketing A marketing internship will provide an introduction to the world of publicity, promotion, and sales in the publishing industry. Interns in this department might assist the Marketing Manager with research for potential media markets for specific books, help set up events and assemble press kits, assist with mailings and database maintenance, or write letters on behalf of the Marketing Department. News interns assist primarily in the marketing and public relations department of the magazine, helping to expand the subscription and advertising bases and develop promotional materials. There are also opportunities to perform research relating to upcoming magazine articles and features. News internships are valuable not only for students of communications, mass media studies, journalism, social sciences, and the humanities, but also for anyone seriously interested in developing networks for Native American communities.
Some interns work on one specific book instead of in one department.
Special Projects Special Projects interns work with Heyday and the Clapperstick Institute to advance projects outside of the normal realm of publishing, such as conferences and community programs. The California Indian storytelling Festival and the Bay Area Pre-History Conference are upcoming events. Course credit can be arranged for university and college students.
