Ranker is seeking a Content Intern to join the team in our Los Angeles office.
We are looking for detail oriented pop-culture junkies who have a comprehensive knowledge of and passion for film, TV, sports, music, video games, or a combo therein. Do you know who played Buffy Summers in the movie AND the TV show? Did John Elway win 2 or 3 Super Bowls? What does "Post-punk" mean? These are the kinds of questions we are faced with every day, and knowing the answer, or at least have the skills to find the answer in a timely fashion, are what we are looking for.
This is a paid internship that will last for 3 months, after which your performance will be evaluated.

Requirements:
Strong editing skills

Relentless attention to detail while comfortable multitasking in fast-moving environments
Previous experience copyediting in an editorial role at a school publication or other internship at a website, magazine, or newspaper is a huge PLUS
A positive, mature attitude
A love of all things pop culture
