    The push for diversity in the media and entertainment is real. As evidenced by the Pepsi ad fiasco, several big companies still need diverse talent in leadership positions who carry unique perspectives, are prepared to succeed in top national and international industries, and are determined to contribute their skills to the next generation. If you’re looking to enhance your business skills or flourish in production as a creative then look no further. Identify and polish your career strengths through this list of programs and internships that are  designed specifically to engage and endorse people of color.

    The Undefeated, ESPN’s multiplatform initiative for sports, race and culture, has announced the inaugural class of Rhoden Fellows (March 2017), a sports journalism internship program focused on identifying and training aspiring African American journalists from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

    With financial support from ESPN, the Rhoden Fellowship is a two-year program founded by former New York Times award-winning sports columnist William C. Rhoden, who joined ESPN’s The Undefeated as head of the fellowship program and as columnist and editor-at-large. The fellowship – established as part of The Undefeated’s mission to develop new voices and serve as an incubator for future multicultural journalists – is open to outstanding undergraduate students at HBCUs.
