To whom it may concern:

On behalf of the environmental nonprofit organization Edison Wetlands
Association (EWA), I would like to offer your students the opportunity to
take a leadership role in a cutting-edge video production company focused on
exciting environmental issues in New Jersey and the metropolitan area.
Internship positions for the fall semester are available to capable students
studying film, cinematography, communications, graphic design, journalism,
broadcast journalism, marketing and any related major.

EWA has served as an action-based environmental leader since 1989. Since
2008, EWA has run the only daily nature and wildlife blog in New Jersey,
www.WildNewJersey.tv, and the state's only daily environmental news blog,
http://NewGreenMedia.tv, which together reach over 75,000 viewers. In
addition, EWA's video production department has produced dozens of video
features that have aired on cable networks, blogs, social media outlets, and
conferences before thousands of viewers including elected officials such as
Governors, Senators, and Congressmen.

We are seeking qualified students to help develop our multimedia program,
including filming, producing, and editing videos and podcasts, and expanding
our online presence and social media networks. Internships range from 8 to
30 hours per week, and include a stipend. The stipend amount is based on
relevant experience, availability and talent. Applicants should be
energetic, enthusiastic, creative, and able to work independently as well as
within a dynamic team.
Students should send a brief cover letter, resume, and links or attached
portfolio highlights to ewainfo@edisonwetlands.org.

I request that you forward this unique opportunity to all of you students.
If you have any questions, I can be reached via phone at 732-321-1300 or via
