This internship has been great because it has helped me realized what I want to do and where I'm going. It has been so amazing just to see collaboration and teamwork [in addition to] working with the different production equipment and having everything come together to create broadcasting and reach broader audiences.
I would absolutely recommend this internship to journalism and digital media students alike. It allows you to be involved in the planning and execution of stories that will go online or on television. I was given a lot of freedom to work and treated like another member of the team.
