GRAY MEDIA TRAINING PROGRAM FALL '26 - WIFR

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About Gray Media", "About WIFR", "The Training Program: General Responsibilities", "What You’ll Do", "What You Bring", "Why You’ll Love It Here", "Qualifications/Requirements". Also pay info: "The intern rate of pay can range from your state's minimum wage to $15.00/hr." That's pay info. Schedule: "Commit to the craft: Dedicate 25 hours per week for 10 weeks". That's schedule. Benefits? Not explicit benefits beyond paid training, real-world experience, etc. Could include benefits section maybe "Benefits" with items like paid training, real-world experience, career fast-track, etc. But we need to only include sections when posting has real, specific content. The posting includes "Why You’ll Love It Here" which lists benefits. So we can make a Benefits section with those bullet points. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, drug-free, etc. Also remove application instructions (the link). Also remove duplicated lines (pay appears twice). Keep one. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content. Sections: - About the role? Could be "About the role" maybe combine About Gray Media and About WIFR? But we need headings only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes "About Gray Media:" and "About WIFR:" as headings in original. We could treat them as part of "About the role" or separate sections? The instruction: use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings. So we need sections: About the role (maybe combine About Gray Media and About WIFR). Responsibilities (What You’ll Do). Requirements (What You Bring). Qualifications (Qualifications/Requirements). Skills maybe not separate. Benefits (Why You’ll Love It Here). Pay (intern rate). Schedule (25 hours per week for 10 weeks). Possibly also "About the company" but not required. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content. Let's craft:

  About the role

  Gray Media is a growing multimedia company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the nation's largest owner of top-rated local television stations and digital assets serving 117 full-power television markets reaching approximately 37% of US television households. The portfolio includes 80 markets with the top-rated television station and 100 markets with the first- and/or second-highest-rated television station in average all-day ratings across 116 such markets measured by Nielsen in 2025. Gray Media also owns the largest Telemundo Affiliate group (46 markets) and Gray Digital Media, a full-service digital agency. Additional media properties include video production companies Raycom Sports, Tupelo Media Group, and PowerNation Studios, and studio production facilities Assembly Atlanta and Third Rail Studios. WIFR/WREX, owned by Gray Media, is both a CBS and NBC affiliate located in Northern Illinois near Chicago, Madison, and Milwaukee. The Rockford market offers small‑town charm with big‑city convenience.

  That seems good. Next Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do:" bullet list. We need to capture each bullet: - Own the role: Step into the shoes of a producer, MMJ, meteorologist, or media sales executive and handle real-world assignments (yes, the kind that may go on air and online). - Drive digital engagement: Create content that lives beyond the TV screen- think social media, streaming apps, and web stories because we’re digital-first, always. - Collaborate with pros: Work side-by-side with seasoned veterans who are the best in the business, gaining insights you won’t find in any textbook. - Commit to the craft: Dedicate 25 hours per week for 10 weeks to mastering your specialty and building a professional-grade portfolio. - Make an impact: Tell stories that matter to the community or help local businesses grow through innovative media strategies. - Build your future: Position yourself at the front of the line for full-time career opportunities within Gray Media’s network of 117 stations. Note that "Commit to the craft" includes schedule info; but we also have separate Schedule section. Might duplicate. We could keep schedule info in Responsibilities but also separate Schedule section. However we should avoid duplication? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplicate lines are to be removed. The schedule appears both in Responsibilities and also later in "Commit to the craft". It's same line. We should keep it once. Perhaps we put schedule in its own section and not repeat in Responsibilities. But we need to preserve all info; we can keep schedule in Schedule section and remove duplicate from Responsibilities. However the Responsibilities bullet list includes that line; if we remove it we lose that responsibility detail. But we could keep it in Responsibilities and also have Schedule section referencing same info? That would be duplication. Better to keep schedule in Schedule section and adjust Responsibilities bullet to omit that line, but then we lose the responsibility of committing to craft? Actually the bullet includes both committing to craft and schedule. Could split: Responsibilities bullet list includes "Commit to the craft: Dedicate 25 hours per week for 10 weeks to mastering your specialty and building a professional-grade portfolio." That's both responsibility and schedule. We could keep it under Responsibilities and not have separate Schedule section, but the instruction says to include Schedule section only when posting actually states them. It does state schedule (25 hours per week for 10 weeks). So we could have Schedule section with that detail, and Responsibilities section without that line. But then we lose the responsibility of committing to craft? However the responsibility of committing to craft is essentially the schedule; maybe it's okay to have it only under Schedule. But the bullet also mentions mastering specialty and building portfolio, which is responsibility. Could rephrase: "Commit to the craft: mastering your specialty and building a professional-grade portfolio." and schedule separate. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can split the sentence into two parts: responsibility part and schedule part. That's acceptable as we are not losing info, just separating. Thus Responsibilities bullets: - Own the role: Step into the shoes of a producer, MMJ, meteorologist, or media sales executive and handle real-world assignments (yes, the kind that may go on air and online). - Drive digital engagement: Create content that lives beyond the TV screen—think social media, streaming apps, and web stories because we’re digital‑first, always. - Collaborate with pros: Work side‑by‑side with seasoned veterans who are the best in the business, gaining insights you won’t find in any textbook. - Commit to the craft: Master your specialty and build a professional‑grade portfolio. - Make an impact: Tell stories that matter to the community or help local businesses grow through innovative media strategies. - Build your future: Position yourself at the front of the line for full‑time career opportunities within Gray Media’s network of 117 stations. Schedule section: Dedicate 25 hours per week for 10 weeks. Now Requirements (What You Bring): - Current enrollment: You’re a college student (Junior or Senior status preferred) chasing a degree in Journalism, Communications, Sales, Marketing, or a related field. - A "doer" mindset: You aren't afraid to get your hands dirty and take initiative; you’re here to work, not just watch. - Digital savvy: You understand that media happens everywhere, from the big screen to the palm of someone’s hand. - Strong work ethic: You bring urgency, organization, and a "can-do" attitude to every shift. - Communication skills: You can tell a story, pitch an idea, or explain a forecast with clarity and confidence. - Reliability: You’re ready to commit to the full 10-week program and the 25-hour weekly schedule. - Passion for local: You care about the community and want to see how local media makes a real difference. Note reliability duplicates schedule; we could keep reliability as is but schedule already covered. Might be okay but could be considered duplication. However reliability mentions commitment to program and schedule; we could keep it as is; schedule section already covers schedule; duplication may be considered duplicate lines? The line "You’re ready to commit to the full 10-week program and the 25-hour weekly schedule." is not exactly same as schedule section but includes schedule. Might be okay to keep both; but we might consider removing schedule from reliability to avoid duplication. However we must preserve all substantive information; removing that phrase loses info about reliability commitment. Could keep reliability bullet without schedule mention: "Reliability: You’re ready to commit to the full 10-week program." But then we lose schedule mention. However schedule is already covered elsewhere; we could keep reliability bullet as "Reliability: You’re ready to commit to the full 10-week program." and schedule section covers hours. That seems acceptable. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we are summarizing by removing schedule phrase. That's altering detail. Better to keep reliability bullet as is and accept slight duplication; the instruction says remove duplicated lines. This is not an exact duplicate line but overlapping info. Might be okay. Qualifications/Requirements section: The posting has "Qualifications/Requirements:" with bullet points: - Be currently enrolled in a college/university (preferred Junior/Senior) - Strong work ethic and organizational skills - Earning a degree in Journalism/Communications, Sales, Marketing, Engineering, News, Sports, or related fields, with a desire to get hands-on experience in the local media industry We also have "What You Bring" which overlaps with qualifications. But we need to keep both? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include both sections, but we must avoid duplicate content. However there is overlap: "Be currently enrolled..." similar to "Current enrollment". "Strong work ethic and organizational skills" similar to "Strong work ethic". We could keep both but risk duplication. Perhaps we merge them into one Qualifications section and treat What You Bring as Skills? But the instruction says use headings like Skills, Benefits, etc. We could have Skills section for "What You Bring" (skills/attributes) and Qualifications for formal qualifications. That seems reasonable. Thus:

  Qualifications

  • Be currently enrolled in a college/university (preferred Junior/Senior)
  • Strong work ethic and organizational skills
  • Earning a degree in Journalism/Communications, Sales, Marketing, Engineering, News, Sports, or related fields, with a desire to get hands-on experience in the local media industry
