KSDK is looking for interns for both Summer and Fall 2013  If you’re interested in learning about the news industry and gaining hands on experience in one of the top news stations in St. Louis, we invite you to find students to apply to our internship program. Students who are interested should send these documents in the mail, not online. Once the materials are received and the application packet is complete, the candidate should follow up with a phone call to set up an interview. Interviews will be given only to students who have sent in the materials. Here are the materials required sent in the US Mail:  1. A letter explaining why a KSDK internship is of interest  2. An official college transcript sent directly to Ava Ehrlich  3. A resume  4. Broadcast writing samples, work from a journalism class, or a class research paper  5. A letter of recommendation from a broadcast professional, someone currently working in the broadcast industry  None of these materials can be returned. Do not send tapes or DVDs.  An intern must receive academic credit and furnish a personal letter from a faculty advisor explaining the arrangement before the semester's work may begin.  Since each institution is different, we really have no requirement regarding college standing, except that a candidate must have finished at least one year in college.  The experience is unpaid, but we do offer a chance to work in one of the most exciting and successful network affiliates in the country, in a corporation that leads the nation in newsgathering and its commitment to its community and employees.  A student who is interested should send all materials, and then follow up with a phone call to set up an interview immediately. Interviews will be 3:00 p.m. for summer and fall programs on one of the following dates: March 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. If the need is great enough we will add an interview on April 5. All materials must be in by April 5.  Materials should be sent to:  Ava Ehrlich  Senior Executive Content Producer  KSDK  1000 Market  St. Louis, MO 63101
