Bureau/Office: Office of Managing Director - New Media Team

The FCC New Media internship is an unpaid work experience offering
students a unique opportunity to work with the first-ever New Media
Department established at the FCC, and to take part in the innovative
experience of incorporating new technologies and social media into
government. Since its inception in August of 2009, The FCC New Media
team has launched an ambitious effort in online public participation
in e-rulemaking, developed the 3rd largest twitter following in
Government, and hailed comments from the Washington Post that "Julius
Genachowski's FCC looks to be the most forward of the Obama
Administration agencies to grasp Web 2.0."

New Media Interns will work on a variety of tasks relating to the
FCC's internet presence as we begin the redesign of FCC.gov, continue
to expand our use of social media, and facilitate discussion through
use of interactive online tolls with both the public and FCC employees
on our website. Interns will also be given the opportunity to develop
strategy for use of the FCC's social media platforms which consist of
over 200,000 users, while managing development and operations of these
tools. After becoming familiar with the operation at the FCC, interns
will also be expected to create a project proposal inline with their
interest and passion which they will complete during the course of
their internship. The FCC New Media staff will help define and work
with interns on the concept of their choice, and provide necessary
support for execution of the project.
