VIDEO INTERN – SPRING 2023
KERA is seeking a video intern to help craft videos for television and digital platforms.
WHO WE ARE:
KERA reaches more than 2 million people weekly through KERA TV, KERA News, KXT and Art&Seek. For more than 60 years, North Texans have turned to KERA as a destination for trusted educational programming and initiatives, community engagement and lifelong learning.
As we seek to recognize and reflect the increasing diversity among our audiences, we encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds and with diverse perspectives to consider employment opportunities at KERA.
POSITION SUMMARY:
The station’s on-demand video team is looking for a promising, energetic student-video producer to join our team for the Spring. You will be exploring all things Dallas-Fort Worth with your camera and have the opportunity to pitch impactful and multiplatform video stories. If you love telling stories through video, especially for social media, this is the role for you. KERA will provide a camera for this role.
This position is FLSA classified as non-exempt, and will report directly to the Managing Producer, Video.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:- Create visually interesting stories through video
- Assist with running camera and/or audio for interviews, in-the-field recording and live performances
- Edit videos using Adobe Premiere
- Help capture evergreen footage for KERA’s video archive
- Create visuals focused on audience engagement, like video for Instagram Reels or time-lapses for Twitter
- Help capture video of KERA employees working behind the scenes
- Participate in team meetings and meet regularly with their supervisor to discuss story ideas and get mentoring and professional development
- Perform additional duties as assigned
WHAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL:
Qualified applicants must be current students (in an accredited degree program) or have graduated no more than 12 months prior to the start of the internship.
You should have knowledge of public media and social media practices, plus strong videography and video editing skills. You must have at least one example of a video project you’ve worked on — this could be personal work, class work or work for another internship or position.
PAY:
$16 per hour paid on a bi-weekly pay period. Interns can expect to work 15-20 hours per week.
LOCATION AND SCHEDULE:
The internship is based in Dallas/Fort Worth, but interns can work a hybrid schedule. We can accommodate some fully remote internships depending on individual circumstances. Interns should have some availability between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Hours are flexible, and we’ll work with you to accommodate class schedules.
The internship will begin around January 23, 2023 and end May 12, 2023. There may be opportunities to extend the internship into the Summer 2023 term.
HOW TO APPLY:
All applications must include a cover letter, resume and two pitches for visually-driven stories you could work on in this role (like a photo essay or video project). Applicants must also include at least one link to a photo or video project you’ve done that you’re proud of and an explanation of why. Please also state how you found out about this position.
The application deadline is November 30th. Applications that are incomplete will not be accepted.
