Dear Colleagues,

I’m developing a list of community media orgs that might need interns from McGill University. Undergraduates, especially those studying alternative/community, etc. media, often want to get some grounded experience but they are finding it difficult to find opportunities. So, as the undergrad program director for our Undergraduate Minor in Communication Studies, I’m putting together a list of organizations that ‘might’ be interested and then I’m sending that to the director of the Internship program to use with students seeking opportunities. Here’s a description of our Faculty’s Internship Program - http://www.mcgill.ca/arts-internships/ and examples of current opportunities: http://www.mcgill.ca/arts-internships/find/mcgill. Students are funded by grants to the university so for these opportunities in community media organizations, little, if any, funding ‘from’ the organization would be needed. Please email me off-list if you have suggestions and/or would like for your organization to be placed on this list. If there’s student interest, it’s likely someone will contact you.

Thank you,
Becky Lentz
