Description

Fan Media is a social news sports network of mobile phone video correspondents for the top 250 NCAA, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and MLS teams (Patent Pending). Fan Media will develop and collaborate with correspondents as mobile video journalists for social news coverage throughout the season. This is an opportunity to be on-camera, cover high-profile sports news, build your mobile demo reel and have fun.

Trained journalists, former college players, and fans make 45-second videos/stories on their phones for our network, covering their teams in their area from their point of view as social news coverage and compete each season to earn official status, money and media credentials.

For college students who want to cover their school’s football team, the program runs from August through December for school credit (non-paid). Internships can be customized for each student to fit your schedule and meet your school’s requirements.

Interns (correspondents) will make 45-second videos/stories covering their school’s football team in their area on a weekly basis for social news coverage, including news reporting, commentary, criticism, analysis, fan interviews, moments, trending stories and public opinion. Fan Media Network will provide a correspondent kit with best practices on production quality and editorial direction.

Students will learn mobile video journalism in the field and strive to get into the News Feeds and Trending Stories of Facebook and Twitter as social news coverage. Videos can be shared from our iPhone app and website into the Newsfeeds of Facebook and Twitter and the best videos get featured on Fan Media’s social brand pages.
