Using College Interns and How to Find Them (Roundtable)

One of the great things about PEG channels is that they can provide a meaningful internship to young people who want to pursue a career in media production. Unlike the networks, there are no union regulations, no restrictions on what equipment can be used, and little but common sense to restrict creative young minds. The list of successful professionals that started their careers at PEG channels is lengthy. This panel will explore ways to find qualified interns and what to do with them once you have them on board to make their experience valuable and their management relatively painless. Panelists: Abigail Wilson, Production Manager, C-NET, PA; George Fairfield, Station Manager, Piscataway TV; Moderator: Don Smith, Station Manager, Cranford TV
