Your gift to Wyoming Public Media on UW Giving Day helps support a robust internship program that involves students from the University of Wyoming.
At a time when public media faces uncertain funding and the loss of long-standing federal support, your investment in students is more important than ever. Our internship program not only strengthens our service to Wyoming communities today but also prepares the next generation of journalists, media professionals, and civic leaders for tomorrow.
Interns come from a variety of disciplines and work alongside our professional staff in the news department, fundraising, technology, and administration. The experience they gain helps launch their media careers or provides invaluable skills that translate into a wide range of professions.
For example, interns learn to write concisely, meet deadlines, use audio and video equipment, and produce content to national standards. They practice research and analysis, and they interview artists and experts across fields. Those working in news develop the ability to think critically and approach issues from multiple perspectives—skills that serve them for life.
Your support ensures that, even in this time of financial uncertainty, UW students of all backgrounds can pursue their interests and careers while enriching public media in Wyoming and beyond. Thank you!
