Jon R. Tuttle Diversity Internship
Oregon Public Broadcasting presents the Jon R. Tuttle Diversity Internship — a summer internship in telecommunications and broadcast journalism. To encourage future generations of compassionate broadcasters and journalists, Oregon Public Broadcasting established the Jon R. Tuttle Diversity Internship in 1994. The internship is in memory of Jon Tuttle, one of Oregon’s most respected broadcast journalists, who passed away in 1991. To guarantee this special program and to attract the finest journalism and telecommunications students in our region, OPB endowed the internship, thus enabling OPB to support this summer internship in perpetuity. OPB has always been committed to diversity, both in its programming and in the personnel who bring this programming to audiences throughout Oregon and southwest Washington.
