Broadway Stages is always looking for ways to help people enter the film and television industry. We champion organizations like Reel Works and are proud to play a role in developing scenic artists by hosting the United Scenic Artists, Local USA 829 Apprenticeship Program. So, we are thrilled to share the The Peter Roth Internship @PALEY with you.

The Paley Center for Media is dedicated to discussing the cultural, creative, and social significance of television, radio, and emerging platforms for the professional community and media-interested public. It only makes sense that they would foster the next generation of creators.

In its third year, the internship is meant to help shape the next generation of visionary TV professionals. It is a paid internship for rising junior and senior college students. The participants will get unparalleled first-hand experience of television's business and creative sides.

The internship is named after renowned television executive Peter Roth. He broke into the television industry in 1976 as a manager and then director of ABC's children's programming. He also served as ABC's vice president of current programming. Later, after a time as president of Stephen J. Cannell Productions, he became the president of Fox. After three years in that position, he left for Warner Brothers Television Studios, where he served as the chairman and chief executive officer.

Roth said of the internship, "We are so excited to welcome and support such a talented, passionate, and dedicated cohort of future media executives, creators, writers, and thought leaders. I fully expect, and I am convinced, that they will make a significant contribution to the betterment and nurturing of great television."
