Television

All public and private television stations
Television production companies
Open channels or state media institutions

Here you will find examples of regional institutions that award internships.

There are a variety of fields of activity in television, e.g. editor, author, reporter, correspondent and presenter. Television journalists often work in many of these fields at the same time.

State media authorities can be attractive employers for humanities graduates. They monitor private broadcasters, television stations and telemedia, e.g. with regard to the protection of minors. Another focus of the state media authorities is the promotion of media competence, e.g. through open channels or various projects in the field of media education.

The path to a television editorial office usually starts with a hierarchical internship at a newspaper or radio station. Also, some journalists work bimedially, i.e. in radio and television at the same time. Try to create and publish work samples, this is the A&O.
