Aspen Public Radio is seeking a radio journalist to work as a summer intern. APR has an award winning, four-person news team, which includes a news director, two full-time reporters, and a digital content manager.
The station produces several newscasts each weekday as well as a weekly thirty-minute newsmagazine. APR covers a disparate geographic and economic region from Aspen to Glenwood Springs and west to Rifle.
