<p>So I know the school has the SoC which has a major in film/TV/radio. But in terms of finding internships in Chicago in the TV business, are there a good deal of opportunities. I know that it’s a major city, but it’s not like LA or even NYC where they have TV shows being filmed or studios and stuff. Just curious.</p>
<p>Also (kinda related), are the NU newspaper and TV station (you have one, right? I’m not imagining this?) completely dominated by the Medill kids?</p>
<p>The Daily Northwestern is a media entity completely separate from Medill. Some Medill students choose to contribute to it while some do not. I believe the same thing goes for the television station, but I’m not as certain as I am on the newspaper.</p>
<p>Oprah is filmed in Chicago…</p>
<p>Unfortunately she not going to be here in for long</p>
<p>^good. point.</p>
<p>As a radio broadcaster, I know that many of my fellow radio friends have gotten jobs/internships in radio. I’m aware of one or two TV people as well that have done things – but Medill obviously has the one-up, especially with JR connections.</p>
<p>The RTVF major generally is much more of a film major than the other two, and as such most of your RTVF friends will be shooting and acting in the numerous student films on campus. </p>
<p>That being said, I advise you to check out Chicago Field Studies, (a program where you do an internship for one quarter instead of academic classes), which may have what you are looking for.</p>
<p>Sometimes there are internships for Harpo in Chicago, but most people at NU choose internships in LA or NYC.</p>
