Interns placed in the communications department described a mix of studio production, field recording and event promotion work.

Justin Adams, who identified himself by name, said the job drew on his photography and videography experience and helped him improve interviews and editing. “New news is definitely harder than it sounds...I didn't know you could do live news edits,” he said, noting the behind-the-scenes work that goes into broadcasts.
