INTERNSHIP PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Charter Communications Studio Access Internship Program is open to any resident of the franchise area who is at least
sixteen years of age, on a first come first served basis. It requires a seven to eight-month commitment of six hours per week, or, in the case of students who are receiving credit, an hourly commitment contingent with the school ´s credit requirement, not to be less than said six hours per week. Upon completion of the program, the Access Intern (other than students) will have completed a total of 180 hours. Interns are required to attend an introductory class session, at least four studio training classes, and production workshops in order to learn the basics of local television production. Thereafter, interns will be requested to practice their skills at actual productions and to attend other classes as they occur, as well as to utilize the knowledge they have gained to produce their own shows to air on CommuniTyVision 21.
Interns will be reqiuired to spend an average of three hours at CTV-21each week. During this time interns may be assigned production related tasks, which will be recorded and evaluated, or be asked to produce a spot, filler, or other project of their own design. An additional three hours per week should be spent working on projects, scripts or assisting in other Intern or Access Producers’ projects. For those interns who are receiving credit you must produce three assignments in order to have successfully completed Charter’s Internship Program (This will be described in more detail upon the beginning of the program). Interns are required record their hours using the sign-in sheet posted in the studio. Upon completion of the program the Access Intern will receive a certificate of completion.
