Type of internship: Television (News)
Unpaid Internship, required college credit
Worked 2 days per week, 8-9 hours per day
I worked one day in the studio per week. This included setting up the studio (moving cameras, checking and replacing studio lighting, replacing batteries in microphones and IFBs, etc.) before all shows, and operating the robotic cameras. I also worked one day in Master Control. This is the "last-step" before anything goes on air, and controls timing into and out of the newscasts and commercials. Most of this operation was automated.
The main thing I learned from this internship is that a lot of news operations are going automated. While this may make our jobs easier, it takes away a lot of the flexibility, responsibility, and creativity of skilled workers.
I enjoyed the internship a lot. This is a place I would enjoy working, and I think anyone considering working in live television or television news should definitely take on at least one internship before graduating.
If you would like to know more or have any questions for me, or if you think you might be interested in interning here, please send me an email: vogeney@gmail.com
