I’ve had an internship before, but my position with Substream Magazine has really opened my eyes and made me excited about what I want to do when I “grow up.” During the past month, I have reviewed albums that still haven’t been released, interviewed band members and posted throwback articles on the magazine’s website.
Now, I’m in the process of writing my first two full-page feature stories that are going to be published in the December/January edition of the publication. I’ll never forget the day that my first story was published in The Daily Helmsman, but I can’t wait to see my work in a national publication.
Since my previous internship was a paid position, my paychecks were my reward. The experience that I’m gaining and the knowledge that I’m learning about myself through my internship with Substream, however, are priceless.
Before obtaining my position, I thought University of Memphis students and faculty would be the only other people to ever read my writing other than my family and friends. Now I know that if I put in the work to write an entertaining or informative article, people could be read my work from coast to coast.
I know that I’m only a month into this internship, but it has solidified that I want to work in music journalism. From attending and writing about concerts to writing album reviews, all areas of the field so far excite me, and I can’t wait to see what other opportunities this internship brings.
