We have come to <br />rely quite heavily on interns. As such, we've developed a strong internship <br />program. Students from area high schools and <br />colleges and technical colleges are encouraged to <br />intern at the Media Center. <br /> <br /> <br />We try to have one or two truck interns a quarter. <br />We offer a $500 stipend to up to eight interns a <br />year. The stipends are paid only after the <br />successful completion of at least 100 hours of <br />work. We also offer unpaid internships and half- <br />time internships for high school students. They <br />are only required to put in 50 hours for a <br /> <br />completed internship, but don't qualify for a stipend. <br /> <br />Interri Matt Androsky (left) <br />gains experience <br />announcing a soccer game <br /> <br />The van department worked with six interns in 2004. <br /> <br />City Scope <br /> <br /> <br />Just when you thought the City Scope crew couldn't possibly improve the show <br />and the output of the News department, they <br />do just that.

First, over the <br />summer months, they piloted a ten-week <br />Aric and T.J. anchor City Scope segment called "Where in Anoka County is <br /> <br />10 <br />
