Coastal Plain League 2020 Multimedia Internship
Start Date: Mid-May 2020
End Date: Mid-August 2020
Academic Qualifications: Prefer Communication, Design, Media, Marketing etc. fields of study, but will consider other qualified applicants.
Desired Skills and Qualifications:
• Familiar with social media platforms (specifically Instagram & SnapChat) and the proper etiquette required in a professional setting.
• Video editing is a plus but not required
• Must have your own device to shoot video, pictures, post, etc. from. Many schools have rented these out to interns in the past. Phones are acceptable if high quality and you accept data responsibilities.
• Computer savvy, comfortable with Microsoft Word, Photoshop, or any graphic design program
• Responsible enough to work alone
• Knowledge of baseball a plus
Description and Responsibilities: Each intern will be assigned to one of our 15 franchises (across four states) and be responsible for posting to the league’s SnapChat and Instagram accounts for each home game. They will also be asked to collect video, pictures and more of the players for our media database. Their work will be featured in articles as well as the league’s Around the CPL weekly show. Interns will have the opportunity to pitch their own story ideas, whether print or digital based, throughout the summer as well as taking part in league wide video initiatives (i.e. Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Father’s Day, etc.)
Overall we feel this internship offers students the rare opportunity to build their portfolio in an impactful manner. It also allows them to be apart of the most entertaining league in the country. (Travel to road games is NOT required. Working all home games is a MUST !)
Do not apply for this internship if you are not willing to commit for the full summer. This is a great opportunity for students looking to work in this field to show themselves off to future employers, we expect interns to treat it as such and will not accept anything but top effort. Also do not apply if you hate having fun….
Compensation: School credit + Small Game Stipend
Credit: College credit towards a major, minor, or general elective required.
