The NAB Foundation has announced that applications are now being accepted for the Media Sales Academy, a free six-month fellowship program that will provide participants with the tools and resources necessary to kickstart their career at any radio or television station.

"There is more to local and national news than meets the eye," writes the foundation. "Behind every news segment or popular morning show is a team of media sales professionals working to help companies and organizations meet their business objectives and goals through media sales."

Participants in the Media Sales Academy receive a fully paid fellowship ( including cost of travel), which offers professional development opportunities, leadership exposure, networking and fun.

The foundation is looking for creative individuals with a forward-thinking and solutions-driven mindset to participate.
