Minute Media (12up.com)
In the Summer of 2020, more notably known as the summer of COVID-19, despite losing all my other applications for internships due to pandemic cancellations, I was offered a remote internship position with Minute Media to work with their brand, 12up. The role was a Sports Journalism Intern, where my role was to help create content, drive traffic, and attract new audiences on the 12up website.
Under the direction of the 12up editors, I was assigned content subjects to work with through a selected headline and it was my job to do my research on the topic, produce the content, and ensure it’s accuracy and soundness before submitting it to the editors. Those editors helped myself and the other interns learn ways to improve our writing and arguments along with introducing us to important elements of digital media content growth such as SEO, social media strategy, image and media embeddings, backlinking and more.
