WHDH-TV; Boston, MA

The primary job responsibilities require finding story ideas, setting up interviews, assisting with interviews, logging tapes, assisting writing packages, pulling tapes from the library, ect.
The majority of the job stayed the same, yet towards the end of the internship I was able to assist more in the writing process.
For the overall evaluation of the internship i would rate it as excellent. The only thing i would change about the internship would be to have more responsibilities, with slightly more challenging assaignments.
I would highly reccomend this site to other students. Being able to go out in th feild with the producer and experiencing real reporting is a great thing to see first hand.
I strongly advise students to participate in campus resources such as UVC and the Daily Collegian.
