<p>Picking up on the poster that works for PBS, I would second the idea of trying to find work with online media. One idea that comes to mind is Josh Marshall’s TPM - Talking Points Memo is a political blog that hires interns and staff and regularly advertises on the site for positions. My son applied for an unpaid internship with them and was offered a position but turned it down because of the cost of living. He was living at home at the time and in the process of applying to law and grad school so it just wasn’t a wise move for him, but for someone looking for full time work in journalism it would be a great opportunity. I know that the person my son talked to said that often times the TPM internships leads to a paid position, so it might be worth finding a high profile internship even if it means forgoing income and working at Starbucks part time. PBS had plenty of internships as well but the best ones were all unpaid.</p>
