Internship Placement: New York Spaces Magazine/Exuberance Magazine
Job Title: Editorial Intern
Location: New York, N.Y. 
I am an editorial intern at Davler Media Company, working under New York Spaces, a luxury home décor magazine, and Exuberance, a Manhattan-based LGBTQ+ lifestyle publication. Mostly, I’ve been writing digital posts and print content for the magazines’ websites, as well as copy-editing summer editions of the magazines in print. Over the past couple of months, I’ve had the opportunity to visit a few museum exhibits and leaf through exclusive press releases, which is super exciting. On top of that, I have been able to pitch my own stories and go “on the scene” like a real adult journalist! The program has been designed so that interns get to experience the ins and outs of the publishing industry: presentation, production, and editorial work.


I am interested in going into publishing or possibly journalism. A dream of mine has been to work in New York City, so what better place to start than on Fashion Avenue? I love the flexibility that comes with this internship, and I love being in an environment where creativity is encouraged.

Davler holds luncheons for its interns every Tuesday in a little gray conference room. Last week, Mediabistro’s Zovig Garboushian spoke to us about finding a job in today’s media climate, and how it’s important that women in the industry advocate for themselves, forge connections, and go after what they want. I walked out of the luncheon examining my own values, determined to succeed in the future career of my choice — whatever that may be. Listening and learning from others have been vital to my experience here.

Interviews, event coverage, and city noise; fast-paced, vibrant, and immersive.
