Seeking intern
Hollywood Elsewhere is seeking an intern to work on all aspects of the site except the writing (unless you're a genius with a prose style very close to mine) in exchange for school credit. Work from your own place but it has to be someone enrolled in a Los Angeles (or L.A.-area) university. I don't know how it usually works when a journalism major interns with a publication but I'd prefer someone who will commit to a longer rather than a shorter term. Access/entry to press screenings, occasional press junkets, industry gatherings, etc. I've been hearing from friends over the past two years that I need to do this. And now I've finally taken their advice about six weeks after most fall terms have already begun...brilliant.

Does it have to be a university? Can it be a community college?

You don't need an intern, you need an editor. Or at the very least, a spellcheck program.

Wells to jeffmcm: My spelling is excellent. It's the little-ass bloopers like typing "Enemy of the People" instead of "Enemy of the State"...shit like that drives me up the wall. It's about having 8 or 9 balls in the air and one or two always dropping and bouncing on the floor. And D.Z. -- sure, an intern from a community college is okay. They just have to know movies and be good.

jeff: I forgot to ask. What's the minimum number of units you'd expect them to be taking at said college? What qualifications are you seeking? And do they have to be journalism majors?

Oh, and would it be ok if they applied for a winter session?
