Hey, finally something on my blog that is educational. Intern programs have gotten quite a bit of flack in the last few weeks thanks to David Letterman. I’m here to tell you that not all are like that. Here at the Long Island Radio Group we actually teach students real, hands on, useful things that they will need for a career in radio. Then, every so often, an intern comes along with a message, a project, something that means alot to them. I love when we can help with that and bring out some good that these students bring to our workplace. Here’s an example. Ali Malito is a bright young intern here that has alot to say and a bright future ahead of her. This is one of our shining examples of education. As a matter of fact she is involved in a project and movement to educate the world. She asked if I would post her message on my blog and it took me about a half a second to say yes. Check out Ali’s message below and join the fight in educating the world!
