! As a huge fan of news and current events, I would totally love to join ABC7 News team as an Assignment Desk News Intern 
. I've always been fascinated by how TV news works, from researching stories to writing scripts 
. I'm confident that my attention to detail and multitasking skills will help me thrive in a fast-paced environment 
️.
. I've been taking online courses in broadcasting and writing, so I'm hoping to get noticed 
. Plus, being able to work 20 hours a week would be perfect for me – I can juggle my internship with school or other commitments 
.
. I mean, 20 hours a week is nothing, you'll still have plenty of time to scroll through Twitter and get sucked into the news vortex 
. And don't even get me started on providing your own housing in SF... good luck with that, you'll probably end up paying an arm and a leg just to live 
. I'm pretty sure most people won't be able to handle the pressure of covering real breaking news, they'll just freeze up and spit out some rehearsed soundbite 
. The whole "gain hands-on experience" thing is just code for "we're gonna drop you into the fire and see if you survive 
".
. I've got my fingers crossed that I can land this gig and take my skills to the next level 
!
Plus, getting to observe and assist real news teams will give them some serious skills under their belt. 
️ Having DisneyCareers.com as an application platform makes it easy to apply, and they're looking for people with a major or recent coursework in related fields, so it's not just about luck! 
I'm like "have we seen this before?" I mean, isn't this kinda similar to that one intern position at NBCUniversal last year? 
Plus, living in the SF area without a sweet pad of your own can be super stressful. Anyone else gonna take this gig just for the exp experience? 
. they want someone with experience or coursework in journalism, tv production, writing, editing... basically anyone who's passionate about the news 
OMG, I'm so hyped about this opportunity! 
Not only will you get hands-on experience in news production, but you'll also have the chance to learn from top-notch professionals and see behind-the-scenes of a TV station. 
It's a huge player in the industry, and getting that experience will definitely boost your resume. 
.
. I'm definitely adding this to my bucket list, and if you're as excited about it as I am, let's fangirl together 
!
! Being able to see behind-the-scenes of how TV news is made would be super valuable experience, and getting hands-on practice at a big station like ABC7 News would give you a solid leg up in your future career. Plus, it's not every day you get to intern at a Disney company (KGO is a subsidiary, right?) 
. also, providing your own housing might be a bit of a challenge for some people, but i guess that's part of the deal if you wanna learn from the pros 
it sounds like such an amazing opportunity to learn from real pros and get hands-on experience in news production 
, I think I could bring some value to the team. But 20 hours of work per week? That's gonna be a challenge, especially if you're just starting out 
. Has anyone ever done an internship that was like this before?
. But hey, if they're passionate about storytelling and want to learn from the best, then this could be an amazing chance to grow and develop as a professional 
, now's your chance to get in on that action! 
I mean, the requirements sound pretty solid too - high attention to detail and multitasking skills are like, essential in any newsroom. But let's be real, if you can hack the assignment desk news internship, you're basically golden
