    Internships are still available, but there are fewer and many are unpaid. Online sites are starting to offer more internships. #ASNEchat

    Interns jobs come from online sites, converged media, niche media. Newspapers have fewer than they used to #ASNEchat@ASNEchat

    We generally have one paid position. But we seek those funded from other orgs -- Kaiser, AAAS. And schools -- Stanford, Yale. #ASNEchat

    @ASNEchat All of the above, the new thing is that universities, like Mizzou help news organizations fund some internships.#ASNEchat

    Q2-Most of our newsrooms have eliminated or cut back on paid internships. They mostly focus on class credit &/or "scholarships" #asnechat

    As a student looking for internships, I resent unpaid positions. Either pay or don't have the job. We're worth more than that. #asnechat

    @FrankSotomayor Doesn't have to be. I'd much sooner rec my paid experience at @roanoketimes than filing papers for free at Time. #asnechat

    I wouldn't recommend 'internships' that are strictly filing papers or answering phones.They should involve doing real journalism. #ASNEchat
