Through the IHS Journalism Internship Program, you can work at a broadcast news organization or on a television or radio program of a major media outlet. Internships can involved researching stories, scheduling guest appearances, going out on shoots, and conducting phone interviews. You can use your knowledge of current events, history, and politics to help create programs, and learn how an idea makes it to prime-time.
"My internship at Stossel [4] has sadly come to a conclusion. I wanted to thank IHS for this wonderful opportunity. Now that I have a taste for broadcast journalism, there is absolutely no chance that I'll ever be happy doing anything else." C. Cougar
Most TV networks have their own separate application process [5]to which you must apply independent of the IHS Journalism Internship Program.
