Prompt: Take a picture of yourself with your intern site supervisor in front of something notable at your workplace (e.g., logo, sign, building entrance, etc.). Upload the picture to the blog. Add commentary regarding the company/organization you intern for, along with any other useful information.

     The picture above was taken at the anchor desk on my last day interning at KTLA. The station owned by the Tribune Company is known as LA's first television station and has and rich history. Their expertise lies in bringing viewers live news. Many notable anchors have worked for KTLA including the recently retired Stan Chambers who had worked for the station since only a year after its launch back in 1947.

     KTLA hires unpaid interns during the fall, spring, and summer terms. They have opportunities in many areas including scripts, production, and information systems to name a few. Located on Sunset Blvd., the commute from Long Beach is not bad at all and the experience to be gained is well worth the drive. If you are interested in applying to an internship at KTLA, I would advise you visit them at the next job fair at school. Representatives will be able to answer any questions you have and give more details on different departments.

  1. I'm jealous that you didn't think the commute from here to LA was that bad, I was almost hating my life every Tuesday adn Thursday as I spent at least 3.5 hours in the car- in traffic- each day. I told myself if I ever get a job with NBC, I'm moving within walking distance of the backlot! And it seems like KTLA has a great intern program because I know a few other friends who have been offered an intern position with them as well! So good for you!

  2. I agree with Leah A! As much as I love my internship the drive from Torrance to Burbank takes a lot out of me. So glad you didn't think the drive from Long Beach to Sunset wasn't bad! :D I love watching the KTLA news team in the morning I'm so jealous you've had the chance to work with them! I think I will definitely look more into applying for an internship with KTLA in the future semesters.
