Ed’s Buddy System

Every spring, Ed’s Buddy System matches recent college grads who want to work in the magazine media industry with junior editors who are already working in New York City. Your Buddy will accompany you to Ed events, show you around NYC if you are new, and give you advice about how to find your first magazine media job. The relationship continues for an entire year, and longer if you wish. And because you are matched with someone who is only a year or two ahead of you, chances are you’ll also make a friend, too. This service is free.

Thanks for your interest in the Ed2010 Buddy System! Unfortunately, we are no longer accepting applicants for this year’s program, but we encourage you to check back next spring when the application process begins again.
