GROUNDWIRE NATIONAL COODINATOR INTERNSHIP

Unique Six-month Internship in National Community Radio News
with the National Campus and Community Radio Association

GroundWire is Canada's national campus and community news program.
The 29-minute radio program features headlines, reports, features and short
documentaries from independent and community radio journalists. Produced
biweekly, GroundWire is a high-quality newscast, dedicated to producing
grassroots coverage with progressive perspectives on issues that engage a
national audience. GroundWire's priority is to connect diverse communities
from coast-to-coast-to-coast and encourage self-representation by focusing
on content that shares in the ethics of human rights activism, equity,
labour rights, democratic communication, information exchange and
progressive political and social policy.

The National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA) and GroundWire
offer an excellent opportunity to network at a national level with
community media journalists across Canada. Community radio journalists have
gone on to work in not-for-profit management, public policy, public
relations and GroundWire alumni have been published in Canadian forums such
as The Dominion Paper; Broken Pencil, Our Times, Briarpatch, and Democracy
Now. GroundWire’s partners include Accessible Media Inc and the Canadian
University Press.
