About The Position

GBH enriches people's lives through programs and services that educate, inspire, and entertain, fostering citizenship and culture, the joy of learning, and the power of diverse perspectives. At GBH, we believe in the advantages of coming together to build community, mentor and learn from colleagues, and connect more deeply with our mission. As a result, the majority of our staff are hybrid and work both from home and onsite. Our current hybrid approach requires staff to work onsite a minimum of two days each week, every Tuesday and Wednesday. Hybrid staff are also welcome to come in additional days each week or may be asked to come in on other days by their manager. The World is a one-hour, nationally distributed weekday radio public affairs program co-produced by GBH and PRX. The show offers a mix of news, features, interviews, and music from around the globe. The World’s companion website, theworld.org, offers a similar mix of news and features along with slideshows, videos, podcasts, and interactive graphics that expand on the radio content. The World and theworld.org use social media and other relevant tools to maximize user engagement and enhance the user experience. The World is seeking a hardworking student eager to learn about and assisting with the process of getting a daily radio program on the air. This internship is an opportunity to work with broadcast professionals to learn the intricacies of reporting and producing short and long-format audio stories and series. They will also work across the digital platforms and get hands-on experience on web/social media and YouTube.
