NJN Internships

NJN Public Television offers internships in a variety of areas throughout its television network. The following are the types of internships we offer:

  • Media Productions Interns
  • News/Desk Assistants
  • Radio Assistants
  • Production Assistants
  • Public Relation Assistants
  • Engineering Assistants
  • Computer Assistants
  • Viewer Services Assistant

Internships are usually one semester, and open primarily to college students majoring in either communications, journalism, marketing, public relations, or computer science. Engineering interns should have taken courses in technical production.

Internships are available during the fall, spring and summer semesters, and are for academic credit or skill enhancement only. Students usually work approximately 15 hours per week. Most positions are available at our Trenton location, although there are two or three internships available at our Newark studio and news bureau.

NJN is the state's public television network, and is headquartered in a 125,000 square-foot building in downtown Trenton. On the air since 1971, NJN is dedicated to informing, educating and entertaining the citizens of New Jersey. Its programming includes traditional PBS shows, instructional TV, and local New Jersey-oriented productions such as NJN News, Reporters Roundtable With Michael Aron and State of the Arts.

Candidates seeking an internship with NJN should submit a resume along with a cover letter addressed to:

Personnel Office
NJN,
PO Box 777
Trenton, NJ 08625-0777

Paperwork will be reviewed, and directed to the appropriate NJN show unit or department. This should be done at the student's earliest convenience in order to be considered for placement. In person interviews are required.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Steve McPhillips at (609) 777-5014.
