BIG SKY – Do you know the difference between difference and deference? Do misplaced modifiers upset you? Can you explain the significance of “its” versus “it’s?” Are you looking for writing experience through a rigorous internship? Then keep reading.
The Outlaw Partners, publisher of the Explore Big Sky newspaper and Mountain Outlaw magazine, is seeking strong candidates for an unpaid editorial internship beginning in September. Some past interns have been offered full-time employment at the company, and some have moved on to writing positions with Utah’s Salt Lake Tribune and Minnesota’s Owatonna People’s Press, among others.
Matt Hudson, who interned for Outlaw in summer 2013 and now covers politics, education and art for the People’s Press, says the variety of opportunities as an Outlaw intern prepared him for his current reporting job.
“Assigned stories are good, but it’s good to have freedom as well,” said Hudson, who earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Montana in May. “I was able to pursue stories I had developed on my own and being able to write all the time is what you need to do.”
With in-house video, design and sales, Outlaw also offers interns a chance to work closely with other departments to gain a broad multimedia experience, and encourages their involvement in the overall editorial process.
Interns must have strong writing skills and be organized, enthusiastic, hard working and able to commit approximately 20 hours per week.
Duties include pitching, reporting, researching and writing news articles and features; posting on explorebigsky.com and social media sites; photography; editing, fact checking and revising other contributors’ work for grammar, content, style and accuracy; and assisting the design and editorial teams with other duties as they arise.
Explore Big Sky is a full-color, local and regional news and lifestyle publication, produced and distributed every two weeks throughout southwest Montana. Mountain Outlaw magazine is a vivid, full-color glossy magazine exploring life, land and culture in the Yellowstone region and beyond. Published twice a year, it features world-class photography and high-quality editorial content. Daily news updates, publication archives and other online resources are available on explorebigsky.com.
Outlaw Partners was named one of Outside Magazine’s Best Places to Work in 2012 and 2013, and has garnered numerous awards for editorial work, videography, design and advertising.

Feeling worn out from the winter? Feeling bloated, low energy or foggy in the mind? Maybe it’s just time to have a reset and boost your immune system!
It’s that time of year again, to refresh, renew and revitalize!
The community cleanse utilizes the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in order to help detoxify the body and reboot the digestive system, plus going through the process with a community of others makes it all that much easier to get through it successfully. It is not a time of starvation or deprivation, we eat 3 (or 4) meals each day and take specific herbs to assist the process of releasing toxins. It is designed to be a two-week cleanse, but it can be customized to the length of time that you are able to commit to and dates can be flexible if need be. You are also welcome to do it from a distance if you won’t be in Big Sky this spring!
What it includes: digestive herbal supplement and body oil (specific to your needs), 4 cleansing and rejuvenating herbal formulas, 7 days of the Ayurvedic cleansing food, a booklet of information on the step-by-step process and some recipes, weekly meetings and daily email support through the process.

Join us on May 10 – 12 to pick up pet waste and seasonal trash to keep our rivers and trails clean.
During spring runoff, pet waste left behind by a long winter has the potential of making its way into our local streams and eventually into the Gallatin River if not picked up and properly disposed. Join the Gallatin River Task Force and our community partners the Big Sky Community Organization (BSCO) and the Big Sky Sustainability Network Organization (SNO) for a community clean up to keep pollution out of the river.
With pet waste representing the fifth-largest source of water-quality degraded pollution across the upper Gallatin River, we need your help! Join us in an effort to keep these harmful pollutants from reaching the Gallatin. Get a group of friends together and sign up to participate.
We will be at the Big Sky Community Park for supply pick up from 9am-5pm, and then you/your team can choose from some of BSCO’s beautiful trails to help clean.
