LIN Media has been awarding two-year scholarships to ambitious
students interested in a wide spectrum of fields in or relating to
broadcast television since 1998. In January 2011, LIN Media
announced the expansion of its Minority Scholarship and Training
Program to include a new two-year scholarship and internship for
multicultural students pursuing a career in digital media,
reflecting the continued growth of the Company’s digital business
and its commitment to promoting diversity in the workplace, which
helps ensure the dynamic future of local media.
Ms. Hee is a junior at the University of Texas (“UT”) majoring
in Broadcast Journalism. She is currently the Marketing Director
for UT’s Texas State Television, in charge of organizing
fundraisers, securing grants, balancing the station’s budget, and
developing new and innovative ideas to advertise Texas State
Television to the UT community. She recently completed an
internship at KXAN-TV in Austin, a LIN Media television station,
where she demonstrated strong initiative, work ethic, and a passion
for journalism. As part of the Minority Broadcast Scholarship and
Training Program, Ms. Hee will earn hands-on broadcast training
through a paid summer 2011 internship program at WISH-TV in
Indianapolis, IN.
Ms. Ayala-Talavera is a junior at the University of Missouri
majoring in Convergence Journalism. She is currently a City and
State Writer for The Maneater, the official student newspaper of
the University of Missouri. In the summer prior to her freshman
year in college, she participated in a six-week program with the
Detroit Free Press where she covered local political, sports and
breaking news stories, several of which were chosen to be published
online. Ms. Ayala-Talavera will gain valuable experience in digital
media through a paid summer 2011 internship at WOOD-TV in Grand
Rapids, MI.
In addition to the internships, both students will each receive
a two-year scholarship for up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per
year, which can be used towards tuition, fees, books, and room and
board.
“As the media industry continues to evolve, we want to provide
an opportunity for talented and ambitious students to pursue their
goals in both broadcast and digital media,” said Vincent L.
Sadusky, president and chief executive officer of LIN Media. “This
year’s recipients are very deserving of this opportunity and we
look forward to their continued success.”
LIN Media's Minority Scholarship and Training Program is an
integral part of the Company's strategy to strengthen its talent
base and deepen connections within its local communities by
building on the cultural diversity of its workforce. Students are
selected for the program based on various criteria, including
academic achievement, passion for broadcasting and digital mediums,
as well as a strong desire to contribute to the overall advancement
of the industry.
