WMUR-TV offers paid internships in the Engineering and Production department. To apply for an internship at WMUR, please provide a cover letter with your application.
Engineering and Production Operations:
The Engineering and Production internship resides within WMUR’s Engineering department. This internship includes actual “hands on” operation of equipment under the observation of permanent tech op staff members. The goal of this internship is to expose the student to real world daily technical operations in a television station. Interns will learn and train on different aspects of engineering and production.
Each intern will gain a general understanding of the following technical areas:
• Production (Floor Direct, Wireless Camera Operation, Prompter, Editing, Directing)
• Air Operations (Master Control)
• Engineering (installation, repair, and support of broadcast systems)
• IT
After completing time in each of the above areas, the remainder of the program will be designated for students to return to their area(s) of choice to gain additional training. The intern's scheduled days will remain the same from week to week however, hours will vary.
Equipment Use: As the purpose of the internship is to gain training in the technical areas, students will be allowed to touch and train on the technical equipment. Use of the equipment will be limited and closely supervised and monitored.
Internships are scheduled based on mutual availability and academic schedule and requirements, but may consist of up to 24-hours per week
The cover letter should include:
• Briefly state your main objectives for participating in WMUR-TV internship (please be specific)
• Current college, program and expected graduation timeline
• Available start and end dates
