About the Role:

AJR Media Group manages TourTexas.com and TourLouisiana.com — regional tourism publishing platforms that connect travelers with destinations, events, and experiences across the South. We're preparing for a full website overhaul, and that starts with the content. Enter: you, our mysterious and extremely talented intern.

The Editorial & Marketing Intern will be the trusty sidekick in a large content optimization project. You’ll work directly with our Lead Writer to go through the websites page-by-page. The process involves working with structured data (schema), on-page SEO/GEO, basic copy editing, link auditing, and fact-checking, among other things.

You’re probably wondering right about now if you’re a good fit—if you’re what this AJR place is looking for. If you’re interested in getting your foot in the door of writing, editing, marketing, or even journalism, this internship will help you hone those skills, get real-world experience, and fill in the white space on that resume of yours.

 Compensation: $17-$20 per hour based on experience

What Will You Be Doing?

• Writing JSON-LD schema markup for articles and destination pages
• Writing alt text for images across the site
• Auditing links for accuracy, broken URLs, and low-quality destinations
• Copy editing
• Verifying business information (hours, addresses, open/closed status) against live sources
• Supporting GEO and SEO content optimization
• Basic image editing (cropping, resizing, etc.)

Preferred Qualifications 

• Currently pursuing a degree in Communication Studies, Marketing, Journalism, Public Relations, or a related field
• Strong writing and proofreading skills
• Strong creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills
• Basic computer literacy (in other words, you should already know how to resize images, read HTML, troubleshoot common problems, the difference between file formats, etc.)
• Familiarity using AI tools like Claude as part of a workflow (not to write content, but to accelerate monotonous tasks)
• Enjoy traveling (these are travel websites, after all)

To Apply 

Send your resume and a short paragraph about why you're interested in this role to hunter@ajrmediagroup.com. Don’t worry if your resume doesn’t have Apple or The New York Times on it. We understand this is an internship and everyone’s got to start somewhere.  

In addition to your resume, please include one or two writing samples. Could be anything. Oh, and let us know your favorite book, favorite movie, and favorite musician/band. If you’re into them, leave your favorite video game, too. Why not?
