Assisting producers with writing and organizing newscasts

Collaborating with anchors, reporters, and photographers to shape story flow

Learning how to stack shows, manage breaking news, and update digital content

Observing newsroom meetings and contributing story ideas

Timing a TV news broadcast

The goal is to leave the internship being able to produce a 30-minute show

This internship will be in-person at our station in High Point. You must have reliable transportation and be able to commit to working 12-20 hours a week
