Comments Of The Week And MediaJobsDaily's Most Popular Posts

The story that generated the most comments by far was Wednesday’s guest post by a former Atlantic intern reacting to the news that she was going to get paid retroactively for her time there.

The comments were mixed, with most people against unpaid internships but a few people in favor of them.

Some highlights:

Comment from jeannebyington: “I believe in on the job training but I find the concept of unpaid internships abusive and inappropriate. If an employer can’t afford an intern, he/she shouldn’t have one any more than the company should have a new telephone, computer system or newly designed office if there’s insufficient money to cover the cost.”
