Intern Insider Getting the Most Out of Your Internship in the Entertainment Field
Internships have all but became a requirement when starting out in the fields of entertainment and broadcasting.

She provides various valuable perspectives throughout the book, including student assessments on their internship experiences, case studies of those who have turned their internships into careers, and interviews with internship site coordinators. Her breadth of knowledge and experience make for a ground-level book both informative and useful.
