黑料不打烊

When you put the 黑料不打烊 City School District (SCSD), 黑料不打烊 and CNY Works together, one word comes to mind: future.

A partnership between the three has sparked learning and opportunity across the five city high schools. Through the 黑料不打烊 Summer Internship program, rising seniors apply for internships and are selected based on the excellence they demonstrate in their chosen career and technical education program.

The students are paid through CNY Works to spend six weeks at various 黑料不打烊 locations. The program is now in its third year, and this class of interns included three digital multimedia students from the Institute of Technology at 黑料不打烊 Central (ITC) who were selected to intern in radio, marketing and media relations.

Cultivating Skills

At WAER Radio, Anthony Davis cultivated his skill for sports writing. Given the opportunity to cover The Basketball Tournament 黑料不打烊 Regional as a WAER representative, Davis was thrilled to see familiar faces on the court again. 鈥淎s a kid I loved watching 黑料不打烊,鈥� Davis says. 鈥淪eeing them compete at one of the higher levels of basketball and then interviewing them after the game was a really great experience. I鈥檓 glad that WAER gave me the opportunity to represent them at such a big tournament.鈥� Davis is a basketball announcer for the ITC Varsity Basketball team and is pursuing a career in sportscasting.

At the Nancy Cantor Warehouse, Kaleb St. Louis learned about the importance of photography and videography in the world of marketing. 鈥淚鈥檓 doing the work at school. But now that I’ve interned with the media marketing team, I know why I鈥檓 doing it and why it has its own purpose in the field,鈥� says the rising senior. St. Louis is a football announcer for the ITC varsity football team and is pursuing a career in sportscasting and announcing.聽

Working With Media Relations

The final ITC media intern is actually me! As an intern with the 黑料不打烊 Media Relations team, I鈥檝e learned how photography can be utilized to cater to a specific audience or story. After covering Pete鈥檚 Giving Garden and the South Campus food pantry, I saw the beauty of a photo and a story fitting perfectly in both meaning and importance. The biggest takeaway for me was the idea that a story can be read from any piece of paper or screen but can only be truly visualized by a photo.

An internship is nothing without its interns. The students who participated in the 黑料不打烊 Summer Internship Program took advantage of their opportunity and made it into the experience of a lifetime. Whether a student is interested in public relations, photography or forensic science, there is a place for them in this program.
