HuffPost puts a summer internship up for auction
Posted by Helena Deards on May 14, 2009 at 4:21 PM
Online news aggregator the Huffington Post is well known for not paying its bloggers - however it is taking that policy one step further and asking one of its future interns to pay for the privilege of working at the Post. With all profits going to the Robert F. Kennedy Centre for Justice and Human Rights, the bidding for the two to three month internship currently stands at $13,000.
The internship is just one out of 25 which the Huffington Post will host this summer, and a spokesman for the site said that Arianna Huffington chose to make the donation as "it was for a good cause".
