Summer Media Internship

Posted by on February 24th, 2011

Number of Open Positions: 1

Internship Period: We are looking for a media intern throughout the year

Job Description:

The Panigram Resort summer internship is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in a foreign culture and get hands-on experience developing a resort from the ground-up. Your office will be the Panigram project site, located in the beautiful Jessore District of southern Bangladesh. Our past interns have designed and built pavilions, researched alternative energy, and taught English to local school children. We are looking for intrepid, adventurous students who are not afraid to take initiative. Because the conditions at Panigram can be both physically and mentally challenging, we want to hire students who can easily adapt to different cultures and can handle a camping-type of environment (the accommodations in Jessore are very basic.)

The media intern will be responsible for documenting the design and construction progress and the internship experience through photography, blogging, and video. This intern will need to prepare a blog entry (with photos) and a small 5-10 minute video clip each week to post on our website. The media intern will also be responsible for building up our social networking presence.

Qualifications:

Sophomore, Junior, and Seniors majoring in journalism, communications, or media are invited to apply. Must have experience with videography and video editing. The intern should also have excellent writing skills and experience with photography. Knowledge of various social media sites (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, etc. is also essential.)

Other:

Interns will be responsible for providing their own transportation to and from Bangladesh. Housing, food, and transportation within Bangladesh will be provided along with a small stipend for incidental expenses.

Looking for a Media Intern

Posted by on May 9th, 2010

I am looking for a summer intern who can help us create a “reality TV show” about building Panigram Resort. Interns will use a high definition video camera and film editing software to create short 10 minute episodes about the intern experience and developing Panigram Resort that we can post each week on our blog and on YouTube.

If you or anyone you know is interested, please apply! The internship will run from June 1, 2010 to July 31, 2010.

Here are the details:

Responsibilities:
The summer intern will be responsible for writing two blog entries per week documenting the progress of the construction of Panigram Resort and the summer intern experience in Bangladesh. The intern will also be responsible for creating a ten minute “reality TV show” each week about the challenges (and rewards) of creating a resort in Bangladesh. Each show will be posted on both YouTube and on the Panigram Resort blog as a way of getting people exciting about the project. The intern will film the show with a digital video camera (which will be provided) and edit the raw footage into an interesting 10 minute episode.

Requirements:
I am looking for intrepid students who thrive in challenging environments, are looking for an adventure, and work well with all different types of people. The student must be fluent in English, have fantastic writing skills and experience with film editing/ videography. (Knowledge of Bengali is also a plus.) The candidate must be in excellent health and must not have any chronic medical conditions as access to medical facilities will be limited. The environment will be challenging — both culturally and physically — but our past interns have found the experience to be extremely rewarding. All students will be required to learn some basic Bengali when they arrive so that they will be able to communicate with the villagers.

Logistics:
Students will be responsible for their own transportation to and from Bangladesh, but once in country we will provide interns with housing, meals, transportation within Bangladesh, and a Bangladeshi salary/ living stipend of 10,000 Tk/ month. Please submit a resume, writing sample, and cover letter explaining your qualifications and why you are interested in the position to Kristin Boekhoff at kboekhoff@panigram.com.
