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.
