Unpaid internship? How is that different from their unpaid full-time positions?

When I saw "Trentonian-Unpaid" in the window, I thought they had reached a new low. Oh, well. Carry on. Let the party begin.

They paid more for the ad then they'll pay for the intern. That's sad!

Their Sunday circulation is a third lower than the daily?

And I had no idea the circ was so low, considering all the threads about this place

That's next.

Or maybe they'll borrow a page from the Beacon and allow you to sell ads as well as report.

This is a terrific opportunity for someone. In two weeks, you'll likely be designing the back page.

That isn't such an analomy for single-copy-sales-driven papers. Look at The Washington Times or the Boston Herald.

If by some way, some how, you manage to apply for the job - and get it - look out.

I know a few guys who work there. Not only are they likely not happy people, they annoy the hell out of me.
