EMAIL TO THE EDITOR:
11/21/06 RE: OJ SIMPSON Unfortunately I will be one of those watching the OJ Special: I did it and there is nothing you can do about it because I am rich B*****!! How could I not watch History where only in America you get to kill you wife, get off , swear you will spend the rest of your life looking for the killer get side tracked and played golf instead, wait a few years write and book and then you get a TV show to finally tell the world you did it because they can’t touch you. No questions whatsoever I am watching!! DJ Collins To “Anonymous”: In your haste to bash Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity, you neglected one thing- the facts. Fox News is NOT airing this special. Fox Entertainment is a completely different division of Fox News, and the only affiliation that have with one another is the Fox umbrella. Both Bill and Sean (and Geraldo Rivera) and just about every news person at Fox NEWS (except Alan Combs, who believes O.J. is innocent) are on the record of vehemently opposing this airing. In fact, Bill O’Reilly is calling for a boycott against any company who sponsors the program. So, “Anonymous”, put down the Kool Aid and quit bloviating until you have all of the facts. Eugene "Geno" Scala Jr. C.S.P., C.A.C. Director of Recruiting The Zamzow Group I will be watching and setting the Tivo for the rest of the family. As for OJ. If he wants to vent about why It wasnt him who did the murders, I think we should let the man speak. -Greer Shapiro (NY) What can I say about the continued dumbing down of television? How many more times do broadcast networks have to prove the point "if we air it they will come". The insatiable appetite of "train wreck" tv is what kills me more than the fact that OJ seems to think he has something more to say on the matter. I don't want to hear or see any more of it... so needless to say, I will not be watching the interview. My personal feelings about the guilty, murdering, leech allowed to walk freely in our society aside, I think the decision to air any more of his rantings on FOX or anywhere else is a travesty for the mere fact that it is NOT news-worthy. I am a strong believer that viewing responsibility should be placed on the viewer (not newtwork exec's). It's too bad network news standards have fallen so low and continually pander to the lowest common denominator. --discruntled employee of this fine industry I have to disagree with the statement [above from J.P.H.] that says that the jury has the last word. OJ was found legally not guilty, but that doesn’t mean that he didn’t do it. It means that the prosecution failed to convince the jury beyond a reasonable doubt. It seems to me that this special is a more-than-tacit admission that he did do it, and that he was the luckiest man on earth because he managed not to be punished for it. In my opinion, making another fortune, this time by exploiting his own children and the heinous act he committed to rob them of a mother, is pushing his luck too far. He is a disgrace. Jennifer Davis To say I am discusted with OJ, the people involved with his book and FOX would be an understatement. The show will not be on in my house. Unfortunately there will always be an audience for things like this. It is obvious who will be watching. Those that tune into shows like Jerry Springer (sorry Jerry) and low lifes that commit crimes. Then there will be the attorneys and law inforcement people who will be watching for all the right reasons. It will be interesting to see the commercials for this show; bailbonds, money lenders, ambulance chasing attorneys...need I say more? Now I need to go through my list of Fox shows to see just how important they are to me and my family. Thank you for giving me a venue to voice my opinion. Patti Lawrence Lawrence Designs, Inc Los Angeles, CA As a retired TV station GM whose last assignment was at a Fox affiliate, I would not air the O J program. In my view it is clearly not in the public interest nor do I think it is in Fox's interest. It is only in O J's interest. I am chagrined, that the Fox executives would put this on their network. Even though the network has grown and matured this cheap publicity stunt makes them look second rate. Shame on Fox and shame on any Fox station who carries this program. All of the affiliates, including the O & O's should reject this affront to the television industry and the viewers at home. R. Kent Repolgle (retired) You cannot blame the American public for watching the special. If in one imaginary night, CBS ran three hours of Shakespeare while ABC ran three hours of porn, there is no doubt that the porn would get the higher ratings. However, that does not make it right. Although Fox is trying to and will succeed in the ratings game, networks have a moral responsibility to not feed the public garbage . I believe Fox is crossing the line and should be held accountable by critics, but don't blame society for tuning in. MLL Chicago I remember a few years ago it was announced that the Nazi Party would be marching through the predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Skokie, Illinois. However objectionable it was, it was an example of Americans exercising their free speech and freedom to assemble. I believe the march took place. I look at O.J. kind of the way I look at the American Nazi Party. He is an American. Like all of us, he has the freedom to speak his mind, share his thoughts, unbosom himself at any time, privately and publicly. I don't have to agree with him, I don't have to like him, I don't have to watch if I don't want to. That is my freedom. America has a lot of problems, no doubt, but we would have a lot more problems if and when people begin to lose the freedoms supplied by the Bill of Rights. Frankly, whenever something controversial happens, it does have at least one positive aspect - it gets the social life of Paris Hilton off the front page of the entertainment section. Thanks O.J. for that. Steve Rubin Producer WORLD WAR II DAILY 11/20/06 RE: INTERNSHIPS In a business environment in which diversity – both of thought and of background of employees – is a highly valued entity, the opinion expressed that students who need to be paid for their internships should consider a different path for the development of their career is antiquated. When a company limits the pool of applicants for Internships by not offering even meager compensation for hours worked, students that face economic challenges are eliminated from this group. The pool then ostracizes minority students that may need the extra paycheck to care for themselves and their families. By eliminating these students from internship programs, not only does a company take away the student's opportunity to “get their food in the door,” it also puts them at a clear disadvantage when entering the working world after graduation, limiting their contact and development of real-world business relationships. No name provided In response to the paid internship debate: I completed college less than 2 years ago with 2 great internships under my belt. I am extremely lucky due to the fact that I have wonderfully supportive parents and I received more financial help from them than a lot of other students. I would like to point out, however, that students actually pay FOR internships in many cases. Most of the larger companies offer credit only based internships, but whether you take ½ a credit or up to 6 credits worth of internship experience, you still have to pay (your respective college) for the chance to work at some of the most sought after companies. It would be great if companies could offer a stipend that would defray the cost of the credits so that students would “only” have to worry about paying for housing, food and transportation costs (which in NYC is a small fortune as it is). While I am extremely grateful for the experience and my accomplishments along the way, I would have loved to take part in more internships, but I had to work to save money for all of the additional expenses that pop up after college. So, I too, did not have the chance to work at my dream show “Saturday Night Live,” but I'll sign my name just in case Lorne Michaels is reading and is looking for new talent. J Sincerely, Kate Kennedy Paid Internships ... certainly a strong argument can be made for paying interns ... but an often overlooked fact is that if the internship is truly a valuable one ... if interns are given meaningful tasks, provided insight into real business situations and offered reality-based career guidance ...then the company offering that internship is no doubt donating thousands of dollars in staff time that would otherwise be devoted to supporting company operations that fund salaries and benefits for its current employees. .. some would say that's pretty good payment already Mike Donnell Donnell Public Relations I owe my career to my internships. The experience that you get, and the friends that you make are lifelong. Money or no money, the business is driven on passion. However, many of the "kids today" may not realize it at the time. They have to be encouraged and fostered for they are the talent of the future. So when a "kid" calls and says they want to be an intern, Tell them to come in tomorrow ... dressed and ready to work. You may be surprised at the results. Andrea Allen Producer NYC re: OJ SIMPSON INTERVIEW ON FOX I have to admit if I was home I would watch it, I think most people would, but maybe change the name to something more like: I did it, the statue of limitations has expired and I am gonna make more money on a movie deal??? Sounds catchy huh? Eleanor Wilson The verdict said "not guilty," and the jury has the last word in the judicial system of the courts in the United States of America. In this particular case no person can say that the crime was done by Mr. Simpson. I personally believe that he had something to do with the death of those two people. About watching the special television program to promote the book written by Ms. Judith Regan, I can only say that it may come up on my television screen as a pure piece of amusement, and would not consider anything that is said, or done as truth. J.P.H. Not only am I not watching it, not setting my Tivo to record it and not reading anything about it, I am also pulling all my commercials out of the TP. I will not support it in any way, shape or form. Este Mlynowski Horizon Media Inc. The most surprising aspect is that Fox News is broadcasting this. Can't imagine Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity being big supporters of this decision ... brings new meaning to "fair and balanced." -Anonymous Watching "If I Did I " would be a travesty to both the children of Nicole Brown Simpson, and my intelligence. I know the title Monster has already been used, but it should belong to O. J. Simpson. M.H.W. While I am disgusted by the show, the person and the topic, I may watch a few moments. It may well be the biggest trainwreck of the century. -Anonymous 11/17/06 ree: INTERNSHIPS I've found the on going discussion about internships very interesting. As someone who graduated only a couple years ago I can safely say that I wish I'd been able to do more internships. One semester I worked part time, went to school full time, and did a twenty hour a week unpaid internship. It was a wonderful experience, but I had to rake out an extra student loan. The next semester I worked, went to school full-time and took a paid internship at my school. That extra student loan, while only a few thousand dollars, has made stretched my entry level paycheck to near breaking, making me second guess my great experience once a month. Other recent graduates I know, while grateful for their own internship experiences, are actually bitter towards interns in their places of work, because they feel the unpaid laborers depress their own wages. And after speaking to several people who began in the industry ten years ago, and discovering that they were being paid almost what my friends and I are being paid (even though inflation is 4% a year, and you couldn't get an assistant job nowadays without a cell phone and it's accompanying bill). So yes, internships are great. But the actual cost to the individual who works an unpaid internship may be higher in the long run than you think. M. Dobbs NYC This past Summer, my company decided to hire two interns for the first time. The experience for the interns and the company was great. We used the interns as more than just "go-fers" and received the nicest letters of thanks from both of them. We did pay them for their time as one came from the U.K. and the other from upstate New York. They were extremely appreciative but would have taken the internship even if we didn't compensate them. The point is, an internship is the proverbial "foot in the door" and something students should realize doesn't always pay. If they need the money, then an internship may not be the right direction for that particular student. On the other hand, companies using interns have a responsibility to treat their interns with respect and not only use them to do menial jobs like getting coffee and answering phones. It is part of their education and not providing them with an opportunity to learn from their experience does them a disservice, and is looking at them as "free labor". At minimum, interns should be reimbursed for their transportation and be given lunch. An internship is a "win-win" for both the intern and the company when it is done right. Barry Katz Senior Vice President/General Manager NEP Studios Suzy Noel Benfatto's comment "Even Slaves were given some food and housing" as a comparison to today's interns is an insult to the memory of those who actually were slaves and to the intelligence of anyone who has ever picked up and read a U.S. History book. The treatment of slaves in this country and other parts of the world is well documented as being one of the worst atrocities against humanity and is far worse than anything any intern will ever experience. No matter how an intern is treated at any company, the fact still remains that interns have the basic freedom to choose whether or not to continue their employment, paid or otherwise. Slaves did not. The situation may suck for interns and may be due for a change (or not), but let's not get carried away with our analogies. Dominica Myers Burbank, CA I noted the email from Hank Bordowitz, as I too, also have taught as an Adjunct Professor at Ramapo College. What makes my experience as a former intern as well as teacher who has guided students into professional internships in the broadcast field different from him, is that I was also a student at the college. When I interned, there was no intern program at my school in the early 90's. I had to seek out possible internships on my own, cold calling and hitting the pavement in NYC and in NJ. The fact that an internship was unpaid was yes, a burden, for someone like me who wanted desperately to get into the business, but couldn't afford to pay to commute into NYC on a daily basis since I was paying for college on my own. But I worked part-time, attended school part-time and worked in my internship full-time. Any full-time internships offered were unpaid, accept for gas and tolls, and usually meant working long hours, over holidays, overnights and weekends. However, I was lucky enough to land an internship on the Dick Cavett Show when CNBC's primetime was in its infancy. The relationships I developed, the work produced and the education I received as an intern at CNBC while Roger Ailes was running the place, is something I will never forget. I give great credit to that experience for helping me get a foot in the door for a career in television. Here I sit, 15 years later, after toiling in the trenches as a Director in cable, O&O, post house and many agencies in the New York market, being in a position to supervise the internship process and I am continuously disappointed in the general "what's in it for me" attitude I see from many intern applicants. I find the majority to be apathetic, disinterested, and always looking for a way out of doing a task, no matter how large or small they are (and believe me, I don't ask interns to buy me coffee or pick up dry cleaning like many talent asked me to do when I was interning.) As for diversity, perhaps because I work in the NY area, I have been fortunate to have applicants from all races, creeds, sexual preference and colors work for me and the companies I hire for. I encourage my students, kids of friends interested in joining the media field and anyone who asks me "how do you get into television" with the same thought, get an internship early in your college career and really dedicate yourself to learning anything and everything. Be proactive and ask "is there anything I can do?" Help yourself to learning and being an extraordinary intern. For those willing to sacrifice to join an industry that is one the most financially rewarding and exciting ones in the world, I think it's all about the stuff people are made of. Isn't it? Jill Schuck Director, Broadcast Operations Medco Health Solutions 11/16/06: Dear Tony, Stu, and Anonymous: One of the most valuable things I ever did in my life was the full-time internship for a semester at a trade magazine. When I approached them, they were unaware that such a thing existed. I basically put myself forward as slave labor to land the plum position that I created. They did agree to pay for meals and transportation, which, at the time, was a more than equitable agreement, especially as I got tons of media to sell for "used" as well. These days, in addition to running my own company, I teach as an adjunct at a New Jersey public college. I bring internships in from professional colleagues on a regular basis. Some students are shocked to find that they don't get paid. Yet, if there's a recurring theme in most of my classes, it's "everything is negotiable." Students: even the cheapest organization might be willing to pay for your train ticket and feed you. Businesses: yes, you are spending time and effort training the future. But even the future's gotta eat. Hank Bordowitz The Bordowitz Media Werx & Ramapo College of NJ. Response - Re: Interns, To Pay or Not To Pay - 1. Stuart Jay Weiss: I've fallen in love with you for your response to Dom Caristi. 2. Will someone, anyone, from NBC please respond and figure out a way to give this kid "Anonymous" his "ultimate dream" - a job at SNL? That's what Matthew Perry and Bradley Witford would do that on "Studio 60, Live on the Sunset Strip"... 3. Tony Marinaro: Yeah yeah yeah, I did my internship at KDKA back in the 80s too, I was dirt poor, I worked nights and weekends at Pizza Hut, blah blah blah. It was beneficial, but beyond grueling. So I would NEVER wish those conditions on anyone. But more than that - the simple truth is this: The intern situation, as it exists day, does not promote Diversity. Kids whose families can afford it get it, and those who can't - don't. The word for that is unfair. Joyce Draganosky Brooklyn I would like to respond to the letter from Tony Marinaro, Director of Market Research WTNH-TV&WCTX-TV & LIN Television Corporate Director of Research I also did a rewarding, non paid internship back in the day - the mid 70's. It opened a huge door. It was a time when we had no calculators (they barely had been invented for the masses) We had no cell phones (Most phones were still stuck to the wall). Walkmans were just becoming the rage. Two parent homes were mostly the norm. Women in the workplace were causing controversy. Things change. Hopefully they evolve into something better. I think it is time to recognize that when you ask anyone in your workplace to do something that benefits the company in any capacity, you should compensate them for it. Even Slaves were given some food and housing. It's time. Suzy Noel Benfatto Former Producer/Current Actor Los Angeles, CA Apparently it is not enough to go to college and get an education any more. I hear more complaints that the new graduates cannot write a coherent sentence than I care to enumerate. It is admirable that someone has the determination to work their way through college. Internships provide an education and hopefully some insights into a chosen field. What is wrong with making it a little easier by offering payment for services rendered, thereby enabling an intern to concentrate on their academic studies while receiving training in their chosen field? I maintain that companies will end up with a higher standard of employee in the long run, one who has a much higher skill level. D. Nelson I've found the on going discussion about internships very interesting. As someone who graduated only a couple years ago I can safely say that I wish I'd been able to do more internships.

Jill Schuck Director, Broadcast Operations Medco Health Solutions 11/15/06 Dear Professor Caristi, While your comments are well taken, it should be recognized that an internship is a learning experience for a student. The valuable insight to working in a field of their given choice ( by professionals who take the time out their busy daily schedules to mentor these students ) far out weighs a small stipend that they might receive. Personally, when I did my internship back in the mid 1980's, it cost me A) the 3 credits for the internship. B) Monthly train commuting tickets into NYC (Summer internship 3 months), C) train station parking (3 months). The internship was 5 days a week M-F 9a-5pm. Additionally, I worked Friday nights and on the weekends as a waiter to earn money. It seems that todays students find it shocking that they are not paid. However, the sacrifice that they make when they are 21 years old will undoubtedly come back to them when they are older and have a job in their field because of their internship experience. The interns that I have had over the years have went onto many great jobs working in large media companies: ABC-TV, MTV, Univision, Ad Agencies, etc. All of these interns are grateful for the opportunity they received to work in my department and gain the "real world" experience they were given. More importantly the personnel contacts that they received while in the internship lead many of them to these jobs. One semester without pay compared to a lifetime job can prove that an internship is truly a valuable part of an education. Regards, Tony Marinaro Director of Market Research WTNH-TV&WCTX-TV & LIN Television Corporate Director of Research 8 Elm Street New Haven,CT. 06510 203-784-8832 Phone 203-773-1292 Fax Dear Mr. Caristi: Your suggestion of paying college interns "something, anything" is advice that should have been sounded decades ago. Interns have been regarded by too many of us as "Free Labor." We get the free labor, they get a place to grow. You gotta wonder if that kind of thinking made slavery acceptable 200 years ago. With my own final grade dependant on a satisfactory internship, I found myself blackmailed into working 60-80 hour work weeks with no wage at all. Fridays were Pizza Day, and yup, I even had to pay for my slice just like the employees. Offering an hourly stipend could risk the creation of an overtime churning contract with an unsatisfactory "employee." However, you have inspired us to institute a fair compensation schedule for all future interns starting this January. Please feel free to send us your intern candidates so they can benefit from your wisdom. Stu Stuart Jay Weiss President Studio City 3330 Cahuenga Blvd Los Angeles CA 90068 LA: 818 557 7777 NYC: 212 777 5755 FAX 818 557 6777 FAX 212 777 5559 Dom Caristi, I regard you as a hero and I don't think any of my fellow college students who subscribe to the Cynopsis would disagree with me. A paid internship would not only make internships more appealing to us students, but more practical. I currently attend a small private college in New Jersey, where the tuition has sky rocketed to $22,000 this year. Being raised by a single mother also puts me at the disadvantage of having only one parent contribute to my college tuition. Luckily, she does not make me take out all $22,000 of loans in my name; we split it down the middle. I have done three internships for NBC Universal and they have been three of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Unfortunately, finances have come in the way of some of these experiences. I initially applied for an internship at NBC because it had always been my dream to be some part, big or small, of Saturday Night Live. That dream almost came true for me this summer when I was offered an internship. However, financial aid does not cover "summer classes", so therefore in order to have interned I would have had to write a check for close to $3,000, which is something I do not have. Although, if I did not have to cut back so many hours at my part time office job in order to gain the valuable experiences of these internships, I might have had the money saved to participate in the goal, my ultimate dream, of Saturday Night Live. If us college interns were offered compensation, not even minimum wage, just something, we might have more opportunities for us because, unfortunately there are some of us who have to work because our parents can not financially support us. Life is not easy for a college student to begin with; life is quite the struggle for a college student who attends class full time, interns, and works part time. But I have done it, and I will be graduating in May with the experience of three wonderful internships, and no money in my bank account. That is why I referred to Dom Caristi as a hero; if there were more people out there with his frame of mind, there wouldn't be so many students who are not only close to $100,000 in debt, but who also have pennies instead of dollar bills in their wallets. So for that, Dom, I personally thank you. -Anonymous 11/14/06: RE: Internships As a professor I appreciate all the companies offering internships for students, but I would love to convince you to pay something, anything, to have these young people work for you. Yes they learn while working, but isn't that true of your new employees, too? Don't you offer them a salary? Even if you can't manage minimum wage, just a small stipend for housing or meals would be welcome. Let me suggest to you that it is not just for the students, but that it is in your own best interest to do this. I have had hundreds of students over the years looking for internships. One of the determining factors is whether a student can afford it. Surely a student will not pass up an "ideal" internship if it is unpaid, but if there are two offered, and one is paid, which is likely to attract more candidates? Companies offering paid internships can choose from a much larger pool. I might even suggest that some of our more qualified students end up in other areas that provide paid internships. And before you tell me they must not have been motivated enough to begin with, keep in mind that some of these students graduate college with tens of thousands of dollars of debt. Most students will have to give up part-time jobs to take an internship, only increasing their debt. There's much more I could say but I'll stop here. Please give some thought to this. Thanks.
