Note:  Anthony Brandon became WYPR’s President and General Manager upon retiring after 35 years as president of American General Media, a commercial broadcasting company. Brandon has been the licensee of more than fifty radio broadcast stations in his career. He mentors and teaches staff members and interns on many levels with instruction on all facets of broadcasting including sales, announcing, journalism, and public relations.

2. Through on-air announcements, WYPR advertises open application and acceptance of resumes for opportunities of non-specific positions.  We do this to further the goal of disseminating information about employment opportunities in radio broadcasting to job candidates who might otherwise be unaware of such opportunities.

3. 2011 marked the 2nd year WYPR partnered with Cristo Rey Jesuit High School which provided an opportunity for students to acquire broadcasting skills and knowledge throughout the entire school year.  For this reporting year, two students interned in our News and Membership departments.

4. WYPR has had and continually offers internship programs in our Programming, News, and Development departments.  Open to the public, local high school and college students, our programs offer opportunities to intern to acquire broadcasting skills, knowledge, and experience.  We teach, challenge, and prepare our interns for broadcast careers.  For the reporting period, eleven students interned in our Programming, News, and Development departments.
