Weekday High School Internship Summer 2008

Students chosen for the Weekday High Intern Program spend part of their summer learning about radio reporting and broadcasting, with the goal of producing their own radio stories. Weekday Host Steve Scher, Managing Editor Nathan Friend, and Assistant Managing Editor Brad Iverson-Long work closely with the interns, helping them learn and master the tools of radio journalism. Workshops led by many of KUOW's news and programming staff also help prepare the students for a further exploration into the world of reporting and producing.

Application deadline: May 23, 2008
