[AMIA-L] Internship Available - Democracy Now Media Archive

[Dave Rice <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Archive at Democracy Now!, http://live.democracynow.org, is  
seeking applications for spring 2008 internships. The archive is a  
audiovisual archive containing approximately 50,000 media items and a  
research library within a non-profit, independent news organization.  
The archive's collection contains field recordings, oral histories,  
recordings of news events, and related independent news material from  
the mid-eighties until the present and serves internal news  
production and outside archival requests through active cataloguing,  
collection management, access and audiovisual preservation.

Internship:
Interns will be responsible for processing collections, re-housing  
archival materials, cataloguing, research, video ingest, and analog  
to digital audio conversion. This is an excellent opportunity for  
those interested in pursuing a career in media archives or a busy  
newsroom environment.

Please feel free to contact David Rice at dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for  
more information about specific intern projects available.
