OPB Internship Opportunities
General Internships with OPB Broadcasting
Daniela Jimenez ’14 was an intern at OPB Music and shares her experience here:
My internship at opbmusic has me joining their team in as full of a capacity as possible, as they provide coverage of live events in Portland that may include anything from concerts to cultural events to films about music. My work includes documenting this coverage on the opbmusic.org website, as well as on their facebook and twitter feed. I work in various aspects of digital music production, specifically working to transfer the music library from cd format into a digital database that will be archived by genre, artist and number of plays. I will also be on-call as an assistant for any live video shoots of bands or other programs that OPB covers. Through my experience, I aim to learn how to create an archive using the information that I am exposed to regarding music in Portland and on the web in the form of an online portfolio/blog. The long-term goal of my internship is to provide organized information for any future historians who might wish to learn more about the changing nature of the music industry in a technological age. My archive will be made up of the blog posts, photos and videos that I produce for opbmusic.org regarding online and worldwide music news. I will also include in my archive the writing and mixed media that I produce as they relate to my own personal experience within a public broadcasting organization.
