CMPAC Internship Description – Winter 2019

Summary:

Access 21 is the public access channel of Charlotte Mecklenburg. As such, we train residents in television production, offer studio and editing facilities for the residents’ use, and allot channel time for the residents to cablecast their programs. The internship will consist of working in each of these components along with some exposure to some administrative and production work (The intern will complete a promotional video over the course of the internship). This internship will NOT be about getting donuts! As a small organization we are unable to offer any pay or stipend.
