Internships in the Local Production Department

Hi, again. I'm posting info about internships in Jim's department (Local Productions). If you want to apply, please send me your resume and cover letter and I'll forward it to the folks in that department.

Thirteen's local programming department offers a unique opportunity to get hands on experience in TV production working at New York Voices, in addition to three of the station's other local productions: Reel New York, the Walking Tours, and Inside Trenton.

Interns work directly with show producers carrying out duties including but not limited to:
Working as a production assistant on shoots.
Logging and time coding field tapes.
Story, photo, and footage research.
Assisting with everyday administrative tasks and special projects.
Maintaining our tape library.

Interns are hired for three cycles per year: Fall, Spring, and Summer.

If you would like to apply, please submit a cover letter in the body of an email explaining your background, career goals, availability, and why you would like to intern with us. Attach a resume to the email.

Please familiarize yourself with New York Voices before applying. The majority of our shows can be watched online at: http://www.thirteen.org/nyvoices

Deadlines for applying:
Fall: August 15
Spring: November 15
Summer: March 1

(Late applications will be considered under certain circumstances.)

The internship pays a $10 per day stipend. Each intern works for part of the week, and in some situations hours can be arranged around the intern's work or class schedule.

Many applicants are students who earn credit for this internship, but all candidates are encouraged to apply. Prior experience is a plus, but not a requirement. Applicants should have a strong interest in television production.
