As you can see from the graph above, we receive a lot of production assistance from volunteers. But that isn't our only source. We also have an excellent internship program. Prospective interns go through an interview process, and once selected, are given hands-on experience in a variety of production areas. Kenton and Matt work very closely with our interns to make sure that they get the most out of the experience as possible. Interns are afforded the opportunity to do anything, from directing and camera operation, to announcing. Students from area high schools and colleges and technical colleges are encouraged to intern at North Metro Intern Joe Brama operates the Community Television. camera We try to have one or two truck interns a quarter. We offer a $500 stipend to up to eight interns a year. The stipends are paid only after the successful completion of at least 100 hours of work. We also offer unpaid internships and half-time internships. The half-time internships only require 50 hours, but don't qualify for a stipend. Clry Scope Even though 2005 was a year of staffing transition for the News/Public Affairs department, the production of our weekly news program, City Scope, didn't miss a beat. The department produced 45 episodes of City Scope last year, with the number of local stories totaling well over 300. As was already mentioned, we experienced a complete staffing change this year. Long time News Director, Aric Otzelberger, left us for graduate school in May. 11
