Company Description WNET, the parent company of public television stations THIRTEEN and WLIW21, is a major producer of broadcast and online media for local, national and international audiences, creating award-winning content in the areas of arts and culture, news and public affairs, science and natural history, documentaries, and childrens programming. WNET also has a rich media history as being the premiere educational television station in the New York City Metropolitan area. On September 16, 1962, New Dimensions in Television (WNDT) went on the air broadcasting on channel 13. Chartered in the states of New York and New Jersey, the very first broadcast was introduced by distinguished television journalist Edward R. Murrow. In 1970, local station WNDT merged with program producer and distributor National Educational Television (NET, PBS predecessor) to form WNET-TV, the call letters and station you know today. Archive Description The mission of the WNET Tape Archive/Library is to collect, preserve and make available production materials and programs that have either been produced or co-produced by WNET, from 1962 to the present, as well as programs produced by its former entities, NET and WNDT, both of which predate WNET and the creation of PBS. Although the materials in the collection date back to the 1950s, the tape archive was not established in its current form until December 1998. Job Description: This internship will allow a student or recent graduate the opportunity to obtain hands-on experience in a media library/archive. Projects might include such tasks as cataloging, researching, transcribing, creating metadata, scanning, and conducting reference services.
