Tow/WNYC Internships

Thanks to a generous grant from the Tow Foundation, the Department of Television, Radio & Emerging Media has been sending interns to WNYC/New York Public Radio during the fall, spring, and summer terms for three academic years (the last placements will be for spring 2021). One or two interns will be selected from undergraduate students majoring in Journalism and Media Studies (JAMS) and one intern could be selected from the M.S. in Media Studies Program. Undergraduate and graduate alumni in their first year after graduation are also eligible to apply.

Due to the unprecedented times and uncertainty about COVID-19, the internships will be done remotely.  Interested students need to have unlimited access to a working Mac or Windows computer, cellphone, headphones, and reliable internet connection.

The undergraduate internships are paid internships that require a commitment of two full days a week. Enrolled undergraduate students who have not yet fulfilled their internship requirement may also enroll in TVRA4177, which will count toward their degree. Students who have already taken TVRA4177 and performed an internship for that course are still eligible for this internship and will not have to retake TVRA4177 or be enrolled in it during their semester at WNYC. Graduate internships are unpaid, but students will receive credit for TVRA7769X or TVRA7799X, which will count toward their degree.  Graduate students are eligible to apply for an internship stipend through Brooklyn College's Magner Center.

Internship Opportunities

Tow Foundation/WNYC/Brooklyn College JAMS Internships are available in the following WNYC/NYPR areas: 

  • WNYC Newsroom
  • Radio Rookies
  • Gothamist

Application Guidelines: Review and Follow Carefully

Familiarity with WNYC, Gothamist, Radio Rookies, and NYPR programming is required in order to be a viable candidate. WNYC is a flagship station of National Public Radio and is different from commercial radio and podcasts. If you are not a regular WNYC listener, begin tuning into 93.9FM/820AM and listening via wnyc.org immediately. Really acquaint yourself with their offerings and to determine if you think this would be a good fit for you.

Specific information about the individual placements, including the application materials required, are detailed within each internship opportunity (see above links.)

Each of these three placement areas is quite distinct, and intern requirements and duties are different for each area. While you may apply for more than one internship as suits your interests, we encourage you to be very reflective and selective—these three placements represent very different foci and storytelling/career trajectories, and each requires a separate set of very specific and focused application documents.

Deadline

Please submit your applications to Tow/WNYC Internship Coordinator Sandra Lopez-Monsalve by Monday, November 9, 2020 at 11:59p.m.

Application Process

Applicants for the Tow Foundation/WNYC/Brooklyn College JAMS Internships are first vetted by the Television, Radio & Emerging Media Department's Tow/WNYC Internship Committee. Finalists will be selected and forwarded to the WNYC internship coordinators, who will then contact applicants directly for interviews and next steps.

Attach all required documents to the same e-mail and note that incomplete applications will not be considered. Include the name of the specific WNYC internship to which you are applying in the subject line of your e-mail to:

Sandra Lopez-Monsalve, Tow/WNYC Internship Coordinator
