The Emma Bowen Foundation is building a more diverse media industry
With support from our more than 75 corporate and nonprofit partners, we recruit promising students of color and place them in multi-year paid internships at some of the nation's leading media, PR and technology companies, provide the media and tech industries with a pipeline of young talent and emerging leadership, and advocate for best practices in diverse hiring, retention and advancement.
Over our nearly 30-year history, the Emma Bowen Foundation has provided internships for almost 1,000 students of color
We believe the key to our continued success is a top-down commitment to diversity, a spotlight on excellence, and careful monitoring of our students’ and graduates’ on-going progress—a “leave nothing to chance” approach focused on results.
Diversity is important in all aspects of the media industry, from the correspondents in front of the camera to the media sales departments bringing in revenue to the coders and engineers who are changing the way we access and understand content. With this in mind, we prepare our students for careers in one of our three program tracks: Business of Media, Content of Media and Innovation of Media.
