Introduction
KCSN has five full–time employees (regular 40 hours or more per week). During FY 06 – 07 KCSN had no State job vacancies occur. CSUN Human Resources maintains an active employment outreach when needed. At the present KCSN has a viable full–time staff of five persons and there are no full–time job openings at the station now or in the foreseeable future.
Job Fair Participation
KCSN is unable to participate in job fairs due to our existence as a department within the California State University system. All hiring is controlled by the University’s Human Resources Department. KCSN will once again participate in the Federal Work Study Internship Program and the station will have a presence at this year’s Work Study Job Fair, State budget permitting.
Internships, Volunteers, Student Involvement
KCSN continues to have strong academic ties to the CSUN College of Journalism. Each academic semester over 70 CSUN Journalism Students participate in live broadcasts of the award–winning KCSN News. Early morning news updates plus a ½ hour program called “The Evening Update” make for a vibrant hands–on learning experience for these young broadcast journalists. KCSN’s News Director Keith Goldstein has garnered over 500 awards for excellence during his 20 year tenure. Students write and edit the news, produce and anchor the broadcasts, and create all of the feature stories themselves. These CSUN students are being exposed to and are participating in professional radio journalism activities through KCSN. KCSN also employs 2 Federal Work Study Interns per academic semester who learn many aspects of radio station operation, from board operation to audio production, membership and development duties, and daily business office functions. KCSN also continues to offer formal production internship positions each academic year to qualified and energetic students from the Univeristy. These students work closely with the KCSN Production Manager Meishel Menachekanian during his daily production duties. Interns learn how to produce audio, station imaging and voice–over technique, along with digital editing and final mix–down techniques. This is a unique and exciting opportunity for CSUN students which KCSN has offered for many years.
KCSN’s broadcast staff consists primarily by community volunteers. Most of the music programming is produced, programmed, and hosted by volunteers from the Los Angeles County area. This again offers our community a chance to participate in the operation of the radio station. Along with volunteers we also engage CSUN students and local high school students to volunteer, intern, and be a part of the KCSN community. Formal and informal training opportunities abound at KCSN, and we welcome anyone who is interested to visit and consider taking part in the KCSN Radio experience.
Tours
KCSN regularly provides tours of its facility to the public in–general, local elementary and high school students alike, CSUN students, faculty and community members, as well as community groups like the Boy and Girl Scouts, Indian Princess and Indian Guide troupes, as well as Cub Scouts and Brownie groups. Tours explain station operations, production, and help promote careers in public radio and broadcasting. Station tours are available to any member of the public during regular business hours. Please call the business office to schedule a tour at (818) 677–3090.
