NBPC: National Black Programming Consortium
NBPC TELEVISION AND NEW MEDIA INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
FALL 2007
The National Black Programming Consortium is looking for a smart and creative candidate to participate in a joint media internship program with MTV Networks. While immersed in this intensive 12-week program, the intern will experience firsthand the fast-paced, ever-evolving, world of television and new media creation and distribution.
For over 25 years, NBPC has been an effective advocate for media makers telling stories about the African-American and African Diaspora experience. Since 1991, NBPC has awarded over six million dollars to independent filmmakers, whose work has provided several hundreds of hours of programming on the PBS system. Most recently, NBPC funded a summit and new media training program which yielded four high-concept new media projects which will be distributed via its website and through hand-held devices.
In our effort to identify and support emerging producers of color within this rapid evolution of the media landscape, we have established a relationship with MTV Networks to provide a unique opportunity for students to work within one of today’s most dynamic and forward moving media companies. This internship duration will be 12 weeks, with a weekly stipend of 500 dollars (paid by NBPC).
The position, which is modeled on our successful TV internship with the award-winning magazine show NOW, is open to undergraduate students and must be for college credit. Students interested in aspects of television or new media creation, development, and distribution, are encouraged to apply. To apply, please send a properly formatted Microsoft Word resume to N. Christian Ugbode, Programs & New Media Coordinator, at Christian@nbpc.tv. The submission deadline is June 30, 2007.
