Broadcast Internship (NYSBA)
FOX44/WFFF-TV in Burlington, Vermont has a paid internship opportunity through the New York State Broadcasters Association (NYSBA). Students will have an opportunity to gain a wide range of hands-on experience while interning in the news department. Interns work closely with producers, anchors, and reporters both in-house and out in the field. At the station, interns could help research and write stories. If needed, they will also contact sources for additional information. In the field, interns will learn how the camera equipment works, what camera shots matter and how reporters gather new information to differentiate live shots. Interns may function as field producers in the sense of coordinating interviews and attending press conferences. Other opportunities exist for those who are interested in learning more about directing and producing. Interns can shadow the producers in the control room and eventually try to produce a portion of the show themselves. For those interested in on-air opportunities, anchors and reporters will help students craft a reel.
