PEMBROKE i STATEIKMVERSITY By GENE WARREN Director of Public Information ^ Stephanie Gingrich, PSUstudent who will be an intern with CNN in Washington, D.C., in January, is shown at work m studios of WPSU-TV. PSUS STEPHANIE GINGRICH TO DO INTERNSHIP WITH CNN'S WASHINGTON BUREAU "I know this is what I want to do. Til love going to work each morning." So said Stephanie Gingrich, a native of Lancaster, Pa., who completed all of her work toward graduation from Pembroke State University with the fall semester exams during the past week, and now will do an eight-week internship with the Washington, D.C. Bureau of CNN (Cable News Network) beginning in January. Gingrich, whose Marine Corps husband Christopher Gingrich has been stationed in Saudi Arabia since August, has majored in telecommunications at PSU with a minor in public relations. She is a member of Alpha Chi, the highest scholastic organization at PSU and has won three broadcasting scholarships at PSU. It was through the assistance of Dr. Maxwell Courson, in his first year as the journalism professor at PSU, that Gingrich was able to attain this internship. He joined PSU after teaching at Tennessee Wesleyan College in Athens, Tenn., for six years. While there, he placed five students in the CNN-Washington internship program. "Stephanie is the first PSU student to be involved in this program, which is a nationwide, competitive internship program," said Courson. Dr. Oscar Patterson, PSU director of telecommunica tions, describes this opportunity for Gingrich as "fantastic!',' ^0eieo| paitl the experience she would gain there will be "invaluable- one of the best experiences a person could get." As an intern with CNN-Washington, Gingrich will be exposed to and participating "in a major television network newsroom environment on a daily basis" with the CNN standard of performance for interns being the same as for its regular employees, said the CNN directive. Gingrich, who will live in Hyattsville, Md.. during her internship with the studio, which is located in downtown Washington, says her duties will include "editing tapes, filing videos, assisting in the field, and operating studio cameras." "This experience will open a lot of doors and establish a lot of contacts. It is the ultimate internship, providing experience I could never have gained otherwise," said Gingrich, who will be supervised at CNN by Valencia Sylvain, CNN internship coordinator. v Gingrich says she "loves TV work," adding: "Having the camera on your shoulder, when the whole package is put together, the script, the video, the final product--1 can't describe it It's a natural high. You know you are the key to the informatiop." Last summer she worked with the Jacksonville, N.C., Bureau of WON in Washington, N.C.. gaining college credit for two months of experience. "I filmed stories, edited segments and fed stuff via satellite to the mother station," Gingrich said. At PSU, she has specialized in being a videographer for WPSU-TV under the tutelage of Patterson, who is in his seventh year at PSU. "Students in our program do everything in telecommunications," said Patterson, who believes his program is one of the best in the nation. Gingrich's ultimate goal is "in 10 years to teach telecommunications-but I want to work in the field for a few years to gain skills and knowledge to pass on to students." She said she did a lot of research before choosing PSU for her telecommunications training. What sold her finally was a visit to the impressively equipped PSU television studio. Hie daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Schultz m, Stephanie is a straight to-the-point talker, who said of her husband's being deployed in Saudi Arabia: "I don't want us to have to go to war, but if it comes to that, I think we should-because I want it over with and my husband back. Our government can't afford financially to have this lingering on and off," Such is the young lady, 22, who will be working with CNN (the station of "Larry King Live" and "Cross Fire") come January.
