I've already posted about how shocked I was to hear at the JEE Camp "unconference" in Birmingham last week that a newspaper company was charging people for work experience.
Now for a second shock. The Huffington Post - the "internet newspaper" - in the US is auctioning off an internship for charity.
Bidders are being offered the chance to ‘jumpstart their career in the blogosphere’ in New York or Washington. Bids have reached $13,000 already.
Hope it won't give any cash strapped publishers in the UK the same idea.
