If you’re a frequent visitor to this site and a friend of Ed, you know that Ed is above all else an advocate for you, the magazine whippersnapper. So when the news broke yesterday that a former intern at Hearst was suing the company, it got him thinking what this means for you. Let’s put aside the obvious debate if she should or shouldn’t have sued (continue that on Ed’s Facebook page if you like). Ed is wondering about the bigger question:

What does this mean for the future of magazine internships?

Did You Know?

.. that all of the Ed staff, including Ed himself, are full-time magazine editors? And did you further know that everything that they do for Ed (and, duh, you) they do it out of the goodness of their hearts? (Read: no pay.) OK; Just had to clear that up.
