Support The Future of Public Media by Funding a Named Internship
º£½Ç»»ÆÞ is dedicated to building the journalism and communications field by designing paid internships for college students and early-career journalists. We provide hands-on work and professional development experiences in our radio, news, marketing, and digital departments. Working alongside top professionals in the field, interns are exposed to meaningful work in:
- Radio broadcasting
- News writing, gathering, production and engineering
- Talk show and podcast writing, production and engineering
- Digital marketing, fundraising and communications and campaigns
- Data analytics and digital media arts and production
Interns benefit from real-world media experience as they embark on careers, and in turn, º£½Ç»»ÆÞ benefits from the creativity, curiosity, and energy that interns bring. This reciprocal relationship is practiced throughout the organization and makes for a valuable experience on both sides.
Giving Opportunity: Named internships require a minimum donor commitment of $15,000 or $5,000 annually over three years to support one internship a year for three years. To foster personal connections between interns and internship donors, º£½Ç»»ÆÞ arranges meet and greets between interns and donors who fund internships.
Donors who fund named internships receive special recognition in several ways:
- In person or Zoom introductions and conversations with the selected intern and CT Public staff
- Intern updates on special projects and accomplishments Find out more by contacting Holly Winters, Senior Director or Major Gifts hwinters@ctpublic.org or (860) 275-7344.
