The Lowcountry Herald, Charleston’s Street Newspaper, is seeking intern writers and photographers. Street newspapers offer an innovative approach to addressing the problem of urban homelessness. We print a magazine monthly and give copies to our neighbors on the street experiencing homelessness. They in turn distribute the magazine to the public and take cash donations, which they keep. This turns them into instant entrepreneurs capable of earning money to empower themselves and begin their own recovery.
We are seeking writers and photographers willing to spend approximately 7 hours a month writing about issues of local interest, particularly those affecting social justice, poverty and homelessness. No experience necessary. Experience with InDesign is a huge plus! To begin with these assignments are unpaid however compensation is possible in the future.
Contact Paul Gangarosa at lowcountryherald@gmail.com to set up an interview.
We look forward to having you join our team!
