Radio Broadcasting (Communication/Media) Internships

Events planning and photography were two of the things I love to do in the world; but because of “matters of consequences”, I was not able to do them most of the time. I neglected these passions I had, because I was too busy on other things. Luckily, my internship in Spain made me fell in love with them again. I know only basic Spanish, so these tasks are the perfect ones assigned to me. Right now, I just bought a new camera to rekindle this fire inside me. Thank you, IGS. You made me rediscover myself.

As a Mass Communication Student, this internship was the perfect fit for me. I volunteered to calling businesses for potential partnerships, conducting interviews to some artists and callers, and some marketing on their social media platform. My LinkedIn account looks so much better now; thanks to the skillset I acquired and the jobs they let me experience. My friends are quite jealous of what I accomplished this summer.

Per my preference, I was designated to help a non-traditional station, an independent station featuring local artists and under-represented communities. In their interviews, the artists made their political stands through lyrics of their songs; and some of the composers even explain the struggles they face that they want the listeners to understand and take action on. My internship was meaningful. It is as if I could cry any moment.

We are assigned to different radio stations, and are given a chance to be on-air for the advertisement parts. My voice was not in its best condition at that time, but I am super duper thankful that they gave me another chance. Aside from on-air work, we are also tasked to do some editing, writing, and calling businesses. I discovered that this career path is what I am destined to do.

I was really hesitating to join this internship program; not because I am shy, but because I am afraid that it is a scam. I am thankful to have given it a try! It was legitimate and it was so fulfilling. Upon deployment, I saw how the invited experts and the IGS mentors conversed, and I saw the long history of their good collaborations prior to our arrival. With IGS, I met beautiful and passionate people, who could be the next Oprah or Ellen! It was a stunning experience.

I always wanted to work in a radio station, and my voice to be heard. With this opportunity i worked in radio station London and, i learned so many things, I built my professional skills. I also helped coordinate events for the station. And meet so many famous singers, artists. It’s so fun, i love to work here with such wonderful people. There is a lot that goes into it and I got a chance to be part of it all.

I worked at a radio station in Sydney that focused on local artists and Aboriginal music in general. It was neat to see local singers and groups come into the station to promote their music. My job at the station was to help book the talent. So I reached out to the agents or singers themselves to schedule times to come in. I also helped coordinate events for the station. This required me to reach out to local businesses and people in the community which I liked. Watching how a radio show is put together was a valuable learning experience. There is a lot that goes into it and I got a chance to be part of it all.
