The Legislative Broadcast Center is offering several paid internships to
qualified college students during the 2007 spring semester - the First
Regular Session of the Forty-eighth Arizona State Legislature.

These broadcast internships give students a rare opportunity to gain an insiders'
understanding of the legislative process while developing their television production, journalism and communication skills in a professional work environment.

Interns work full-time at the State Capitol (January-May) producing
video coverage of legislative proceedings for the Internet and cable television.
They earn a paycheck, a tuition waiver, and up to 12 hours of upper division class credits. Students living outside of Maricopa County may also qualify for partial reimbursement of travel expenses.
