Music Research/PR Internship Available!

Hey GPeeps -

Even though it's only January, we're already getting ready for another fantastic summer season. One of the first things on our to-do list: finding a superstar Music Research/PR Intern to help gather artist intel, manage media listings and develop killer editorial for this summer's shows.

The position is unpaid, but is a fantastic opportunity for currently enrolled undergrad/grad students looking for a credit-only internship this spring. Fringe benefits: great parking in DT, working with the GP staff, lots of cupcake runs and exposure to some of today's best music.

Feel free to pass this along to anyone who might be interested; thanks in advance!

xoxo
