As an intern with Discover Germany, you get the opportunity to gain valuable writing experience and learn more about what it is like to work as part of an editorial team in a busy central London office.
Your weekly tasks will consist of writing features for the magazine in question as well as working with the content management of the magazine’s website and possibly some social media work.

About us:
Scan Group publishes three monthly titles (Scan Magazine, Discover Germany and Discover Benelux) which can be described as unique English-language showcases for their respective regions. The magazines appeal to all those who have a relationship with or a connection to these countries – be it through family, business, tourism, migration or investment.
In addition to our growing fanbase of ex-pats and valued business associates, our magazines are also for all the non-native speakers of the respective local languages, who simply love these regions and their outputs.
