[The Digital Crossroads] National Radio Project's Making Contact Internship

[Kwan Booth]

National Radio Project's Making Contact Internship

Making Contact is weekly, internationally syndicated, public affairs
program, heard on on over 150 radio stations. The staff of Making
Contact is small, but extremely talented and committed. We are seeking
hard-working team players to help us produce segments for Making
Contact.

The intern will learn audio editing, researching, voicing, script
writing, interviewing and field reporting. This internship is unpaid,
but transportation stipend provided and honorariums for completed segments
can be negotiated. We ask  interns to commit 16-20 hours a week for a
4-month minimum.

Skills and Responsibilities:

   * Must have excellent research skills. As a progressive media
outlet, our mission is to interview and tap into the expertise of
people who span the political and social spectrum, not just the
conventional "experts" or “officials.” The qualified intern is
responsible for helping us identify who those lesser-known yet
valuable people and community groups are.

   * Ability to book and conduct interviews (in-person and phone
interviews) and assist in script writing

   * Qualified individuals should have a basic knowledge of how to
use a microphone, minidisc recorder, headphones, and how to plug into
a multbox. If the candidate does not have these general experiences,
he/she must be willing to be trained.

   * Some knowledge of Cool Edit Pro/Pro Tools/Sound Forge or any
other applicable editing software is preferred.

   * Additional responsibilities include: transcription, audio
editing, selecting soundbites/clips, participating in
listening/critique sessions and attending meetings, as needed.

Additionals:

   * Should be familiar with community and public radio

   * Knowledgeable and passionate about current events. Includes some
knowledge of human rights issues and cause-related advocacy groups.

   * Journalistic experience a plus

   * Women and people of color are encouraged to apply. National
Radio Project is an Equal Opportunity Organization and does not
discriminate on the basis of gender, color, sexual preference,
disability, national origin, religion, or economic status.
