An internship at Inc.

They should follow current events, be sticklers for accuracy, and have a can-do attitude.
The position will involve some researching, writing, and fact checking for the print magazine, and it will also consist of blogging, pitching story ideas, producing slideshows, reporting, and writing for Inc.com. The candidate should be prepared to write daily, and handle many other tasks as assigned and should have a diverse skill set and an interest in multiple aspects of the business.
