***NOTE: This is an unpaid internship, however, the last three internship classes with this company have resulted in three former interns growing into paid contractor/producer roles within the company and one producer being hired by the client (The Washington Post).

Second what Moddy said about the dude behind the whole deal. He knows his shit when it comes to the multimedia platform. Killer internship opportunity here.

 

Hi Moddy...thanks for the thumbs up. means a lot coming from you.

Good question...the short answer is that we're expanding and adding new clients almost every week/month...

I use the high school sports arena as a proving/training ground for interns/producers and then graduate them up to other projects/clients, which then becomes paid contract work. The moves are strictly based on feel and each producer's/intern's talents and offerings and how they can be used in each arena or for each client.

So, no, the deal is not exclusive to The Post, but exclusive to my company...

Sonner...thanks for the thumbs up. Keep up the good work as well.

 

Napolean,

I'm currently in the grad program at Syracuse University and we have our capstone internship from July to mid August. I know that is a rather short time period, but I think it would be a great opportunity and I'm very interested. Should I apply? Or are you looking for someone for a longer time period?

Thanks in advance!

 

Just a reminder on this...Spring applications are due by Feb. 27. Lots of top-notch talent has already applied, but always like to pick from a large pool. Best of luck. PM me with questions.
