Inside ETV Endowment

 

“Country music comes from right in here…this heart and soul that we all have,” says Garth Brooks. “You can dance to it, you can cry to it,” adds Dolly Parton. Country music reflects all of us.

Director Ken Burns presents Country Music, a multi-episode series that explores country music’s roots, how it evolved and the trailblazers who created and shaped it. Longtime collaborators, Dayton Duncan is writer/producer, and Julie Dunfey is producer.

“If you want a glimpse into what public media is, and the ins and outs of planning, then I’d definitely recommend this internship to anyone. I have learned valuable skills for editing and planning that I wouldn’t have learned elsewhere.”

“I would absolutely recommend this internship to journalism and digital media students alike. It allows you to be involved in the planning and execution of stories that will go online or on television. I was given a lot of freedom to work and treated like another member of the team.”

NatureNotes, Making It Grow Minute and South Carolina Business Review first aired on SC Public Radio in August of 1999.

“I would recommend this internship to others because you get great hands-on experience interning with SCETV. So many times I was sent out by myself to cover some event or story, and the best way to learn and get better at anything is to actually do it. Many of my friends interned at bigger stations in big cities like New York City, but that limited their opportunities—something which was never the case for me at SCETV this summer."

Dear ETV Endowment Member,

Summer is my favorite season. I always carve out time to explore new places–whether it’s far away or right in my neighborhood—and learn more about topics that spark my interest.

The ETV Endowment has launched the One State, Many Voices: Sharing South Carolina’s Stories campaign.  This campaign, with a goal of $1.6 million, seeks to double the Endowment’s capacity to fund local, original SCETV and SC Public Radio productions.

hank you for everything you do for public broadcasting in South Carolina!
