Downie To Interns: David Broder Gets His Own Coffee
Earlier today, Leonard Downie held an online chat where he answered questions about the Post’s internship program. Some excerpts:
Alexandria, Va.: What is the Post’s policy about hiring interns who have a previous affiliation to partisan political campaigns or ideologically-aligned think tanks, interest groups, or opinion journals? And how many interns tend to hail from politically or ideologically driven backgrounds, and of them, are most of them from left-of-center enterprises like The New Republic or The Nation?
Leonard Downie: We generally don’t hire anyone (not counting editorial writers and opinion columnists) who has worked in partisan or ideological jobs.
