    ​Studio 360 Internship - Summer 2016

    New York Public Radio
    New York, NY, United States
    Intern

    Studio 360 is looking for sharp, enthusiastic self-starters, with or without radio skills, to participate in the program as interns.

    ELIGIBILITY
    Any student (undergraduate or graduate) or person who has graduated no more than 12 months prior to the start of the internship period to which he/she is applying. All interns must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

    This is an unpaid internship. Interns receive a travel stipend of $12/day and are eligible to receive college credit.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    Studio 360's internship is a hands-on experience. Interns sit in on editorial meetings, gather research, pitch ideas, collect materials for the website, and learn a variety of tasks involved in producing a weekly program. Over the course of the term, interns gain fundamental radio skills (including audio editing) and will assist staff mentors with producing segments for the show.

    QUALIFICATIONS

    There are no specific criteria except a passion for the arts and popular culture, and a fascination with creative use of media.  Study or experience in journalism and/or radio production are valuable, but not required.  We are looking for applicants who are motivated, avid cultural consumers, and who are excited to learn.

    Terms last about four months and require at least a 21-hour commitment (full-time interns are preferred), and take place at WNYC in Lower Manhattan. There is a $12 stipend per day.  The Spring term runs (roughly) January through May. 

    HOW TO APPLY

    Send us a resume and cover letter explaining why you would like to intern at Studio 360 and what you hope to gain from your experience. Tell us about your culture diet — favorite magazines, books, TV shows, trends you’re following, movies, music, etc. Briefly describe any relevant journalism, broadcasting, or other media skills; familiarity with office software; and your research experience.

    We also ask that you specifically address the following:
    1. Describe two of your favorite Studio 360 segments and why you liked them.
    2. Describe one or two segments or shows that you think were less successful. What would you have done to make them stronger?
    3. Suggest two story ideas (one paragraph each) for Studio 360. These can be pitches for simple "host-interviews-guest" segments, or for longer reported pieces with multiple voices. In addition to describing the idea itself, you should also include ideas for voices in the piece/interview.

    Although it is not required, we invite you to share samples of your work, including writing or audio samples. Audio samples must be posted online for streaming.

    Please submit cover letter with application answers and resume. New York Public Radio must receive all information requested in order to consider your candidacy. 

    APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 20
    Notification: early April
