We actually have two positions for the summer position both called a "multimedia intern." If we can find the right people, we'd ideally like to pick up a video/audio/photo master and a data/interactive/3D/infographic master to compliment each other. The latter skillset (working at the level we're looking for) is rather rare though, so we might just go with two awesome video/audio/photo folks. Here's the kind of work we'd be talking about for that latter position: http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/multimedia-arc…..
