PBS NewsHour program

Many broadcast stations offer programs to get you started in the field.
These programs are not quite like internships. You are required to report to work in an entry level position and you recieve pay. The competion may be stiff for these programs but its worth it. In my next posts I will explore some of there programs.

The Desk Assistant (DA) position is part of a six-month entry-level program aimed at providing practical experience in a broadcast news setting. The DA's are exposed to all aspects involved in producing a nightly television news program. This position is divided into rotations among the different units that compose the NewsHour: research, newsroom, reporting, and production. The DAs work in three of the positions for 2 months at a time. They also act as support staff for Senior Producers, Associate Producers, Reporters and Production Assistants.
