New Media Internship for the FCC [Intern!]

Check out this internship opportunity at the Federal Communications Commission, sent to us by UHPer Chris Sedor.

New Media Intern — Federal Communications Commission

The FCC New Media internship offers students a unique opportunity to work with the first-ever New Media Team established at the FCC, and to take part in the innovative experience of incorporating new technologies into government.

Since its inception in August of 2009, the FCC New Media team has established many innovative precedents in government: launched an ambitious effort in online public participation and e-rulemaking; oversaw an unprecedented redesign of the agency’s web presence from the ground-up; and developed the 3rd-largest Twitter following in government. The Washington Post even hailed, “Julius Genachowski’s FCC looks to be the most forward of the Obama Administration agencies to grasp Web 2.0.”
