So this article analyzes a document that interns to the "New York Sun" must sign in order to work for them. Keep in mind that these interns work for free for this company who doesn't even have nationwide recognition as a credible and prestigious media source. It's also important to note that internships at other companies with a better standing (Read: New York Times, LA Post Times, Wall Street Journal) generally all pay their interns. So here's the article: http://gawker.com/5044701/interns-banned-from-long-subway-rides
That is a business I wouldn't want to be a part of with that kind of dress code. If I have learned anything from elementary school is that I don't like dress codes. Are they seriously more worried on how shiny your shoes are or how your tie is tied? Or do they care about the paper.
Man, that's just harsh. I know businesses require dress codes; this is not out of the ordinary, but by the sounds of it, only the interns are held by that strict code? It's almost like they're discouraging internships.
that's just stupid. as a media company they need people to want to work for them, and a draconian dress code will definitely not encourage that at all.
ok, the subway thing I can understand [if you don't get reception on subways?] but that dress code is a bit insane. I worked for a newspaper down here for a while, and it's a hectic bussiness, so I can understand why they'd want to prepare their interns [and maybe weed out those that aren't totally dedicated] but, the whole thing is going a bit overboard if you ask me..
