Media Education Foundation; Northampton, MA

I was in charge of transferring news and shows from tivo to mini DV tape or DVD everyday. Other responsibilities varied by the day but included research, subtitling, transcribing, capturing video and more.

I would rate this placement as excellent in every category. I would also recommend this placement to other students because it is a wonderful place to intern. They not only respect and appreciate the work you do but challenge you to try new things. They have been extremely helpful and willing to help me learn. The only thing I would consider changing about this placement would be to make it so I was more involved with all the phases of producing documentaries.
