The digital evolution requires partnerships between educational institutions and the media industry to develop strategies securing the future of broadcasting. This panel exposes partnerships in both English- and Spanish-language media that go beyond traditional internships and into the realm of professional mentoring, content production for on-air and digital platforms distribution, and production space/technology sharing.
