Start your media career with Pocket Gamer (Closed - 2010)

The point and click adventure game is slowly coming back to life, the Prince of Persia movie is more or less watchable, motion-tracking and 3D are looming into view, Apple has done in handheld gaming what Microsoft did under the telly, E3 is big again, and you can get a PSPgo almost for free if you buy ten games.

There's never been a better time to be a gamer, and that means there's never been a better time to be a games journalist, PR person, or miscellaneous operative. If you're looking for a way into that enviable club, this could be your lucky day.

Pocket Gamer is looking for interns to cut their teeth at Europe's biggest and the world's best handheld gaming site. This is an excellent opportunity to accumulate a body of published work, make some valuable contacts, and benefit from the wisdom of several industry veterans while witnessing the cogs of media in motion.
