1-2 weeks is enough for a non paid internship. 3 months is absurd. Working for free devalues your work and the photography trade in general. The experience will not land you work elsewhere. Sure you might make a portfolio piece or two, but newspaper editors and art directors at magazines will hire you if you have good work to show. I can promise you no one cares if your picture was published in EYE WEEKLY. |

1 to 2 weeks? What can you learn on the job in 1 to 2 weeks? That's not enough time to experience much of a workplace or to see a project through, and it's not enough time for anyone supervising an intern to be able to do effectively. Unpaid or low-paid internships are the norm in magazine publishing, as in most areas. Yes, more cash would be nice, but hey, you're still learning stuff -- without paying tuition for it. I work in book publishing, and I can assure you that people in publishing take internships seriously -- including on the résumés of former interns.

That may be so in publishing, but I actually earn a living with my camera, and I can ASSURE you people care more when they see a creative portfolio than a bunch of pictures published in a weekly magazine. |

i would consider this if it was paid, even at a low wage, but an unpaid- three month period? The only people who can take advantage of such an opportunity are people who are independently wealthy. Since an internship is usually for students or recent grads I have to agree that it is absurd to expect them to work for nothing for a magazine that generates great revenue from advertising.
