Aw poo. What would you suggest for rising juniors or sophomores who are looking to enter the entertainment journalism field though?

Short answer: yes, with an if. EW internships are full-time, paid, 40-hour-a-week jobs, so current students generally only work here during the summers. Additionally, only students that have completed their junior year of college are eligible for internships. (All three interns currently working at the magazine and EW.com, myself included, are recent college grads.)
You should definitely apply when you meet the requirements, since even the interns here get to do awesome stuff on a daily basis, like interview their comedy heroes.
Entertainment Weekly is looking for print and online interns in our LA office!
WHO:
EW’s spring print and online internships are open to recent college or J-school graduates who can work a 5-day, 35-hour week. We’re looking for applicants with strong writing and reporting skills who are passionate about pop culture. Internet fluency—GIF-making, an encyclopedic knowledge of memes, etc.—is a plus as well.
WHAT:
The LA editorial interns at Entertainment Weekly and EW.com will contribute to the magazine and website with blog posts, news briefs, interviews, on-the-scene reports, red carpet reporting, photo galleries, and recaps. The print intern will focus on the magazine while the online intern will focus on the website, though there will be some crossover. Interns will also assist with transcription and research projects, but the focus will be on writing more than anything else. Some items will be straightforward news stories; others will be more creative, opinion-based pieces. Either way, we’re looking for writing that is clear, factually accurate, and in line with EW’s enthusiastic yet irreverent voice. Interns will be paid $10/hour.
WHEN:
January through June
WHERE:
EW’s Los Angeles headquarters
HOW TO APPLY:
Email a resume, cover letter, and 2-3 previously published clips to Molly.Smith@ew.com. In your cover letter, specify if you’d like to be considered for the print or online internship. Please assume that your application has been received unless your email is bounced back.
APPLICATION DEADLINE:
Dec. 5
Question: Has anyone here ever actually had an internship where they were tasked with getting anyone coffee? Does that happen in real life?When one must toil through 12-hour days, with tasks ranging from the banal (fetching coffee) to somewhat skilled (fetching data,) it doesn’t leave time to take a second job to support their dream.
Which is to say: Entertainment Weekly magazine and EW.com are both looking for summer edit interns. Find info below – and pay attention, as the requirements to apply for each are slightly different.
EW.com is looking for a paid editorial intern to work at the website this fall. You’ll find all the application info you need below; stay tuned for info about fall magazine internships as well.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY FALL 2015 EDITORIAL INTERNSHIP
Do you stay up late waiting for recaps of Mad Men or Homeland or The Mindy Project to go online? Do you love taking a deep dive into weekend box-office figures? Are you still, in your 20s, completely obsessed with Harry Potter? We’re all entertainment geeks here at EW, so as you might imagine, we’re looking for recent graduates who are passionate about pop culture and well-versed in at least one of the areas we cover (books, music, movies, TV). Daily responsibilities do include some usual entry-level tasks, such as opening mail and maintaining our databases, but a motivated intern can dispatch those in short order and move on to more exciting tasks: writing blog posts and TV recaps, reporting stories, learning our rigorous fact-checking procedures, attending movie screenings, and so on. Interns are completely integrated into daily life at EW—they attend our daily morning editorial meeting and are free to attend the section meetings (TV, movies etc.) if they would like. They are expected to pitch, not just to the ew.com editors but to print editors as well; it’s rare that an intern leaves without a fistful of bylined pieces in the magazine.
This isn’t an internship for someone who thinks they might be interested in entertainment journalism; it’s an internship for someone who lives and breathes pop culture. The ideal candidate will have impeccable research, reporting, and writing skills and will already have completed at least one magazine internship.
WHEN: Fall (August 2015 to January 2016); 40 hours/week at $10/hour
WHO: Recent graduates interested in a career in entertainment journalism
HOW TO APPLY: Please send a resume, cover letter, and 3-5 previously published clips to the following address via regular mail (no e-mail applications accepted):
