Conde Nast Ends Internship Program Over Fair Pay Dispute

Thursday, 24 October 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Publisher Conde Nast is ending its legendary internship program, rather than fight lawsuits by former interns that say the program takes advantage of them for having them work for a less than fair wage. The New York Times spoke with several former interns who credit their Conde Nast experience with launching their careers. One former intern compared the experience to auditing a class, “and you don’t expect to be paid to audit a class.”
