Over the last four years (and one month) I’ve worn many hats here at NewTV. As the Digital Marketing Specialist, I’ve been the voice behind the social media. I’ve been an event planner.

I’ve been a leader of the podcasting committee.

Skype from our Studio
Written by Jessica Leff, Digital Marketing SpecialistYesterday, I had the pleasure of witnessing NewTV’s Skype capabilities in our control room for a show episode that was close to my heart. A year ago, I visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam with my sister. I have always been interested in the Holocaust, so I’ve been to many museums and read many books on the topic.

For the most part, internships are a one-time event. Interns come for a semester or the summer and then head back to school. But sometimes, interns who are still in school want to come back and intern again.
On Thursday, I went to the John M. Barry Boys & Girls Club of Newton with Director of Marketing and Creative Services, Shelly Kamanitz, to deliver a donation of board games.
