Community Relations: Our daily interaction with virtually every department provides the best overall view of how a TV station works. Leave the department with important contacts, references and a resume tape of several TV shows and PSAs that you produced. Here's how most interns sum up that experience: Interns: Work with both producer and department heads to: Write Community Bulletin Board voice-overs, write and produce Public Service Announcements (PSAs) and manage PSA inventory. Help coordinate events. As Associate Producer of St. Louis Agenda, weekly current/public affairs show, you'll produce shows from concept to control room. Imagination, logic, a journalist's ability to dig out facts and key players on "hot" issues, and good writing are the qualifiers.
