Calling All Interns

Knowledge of Brooklyn a plus, but not needed? Wouldn't that be the main requirement for this blog?!

"Knowledge of Brooklyn a plus, but not needed? Wouldn't that be the main requirement for this blog?!"

I thought the same thing when I read this comment. Brownstoner I think you are losing credibility. Also this reinforces my point, most of the people on this blog have no connection in the neighborhoods you live in. Plus to make matters worse people act like they lived here all their lives. Now come to find out that "Chris" has been blogging from Notre Dame?! That's a long way from Brooklyn. Hey Brownstoner, why don't you walk outside of your house and find someone from the neighborhood to help you with this blog. I willing to bet some of your neighbors are "Web Savvy" or maybe they don't look like you (yep, I said it). But I know they know more about your "Hood" than you.

The What

Someday this war is gonna end...

"Basic duties include doing the Events and Blog Wrap postings...." In other words, cull stuff off of the Web. Yeah, knowing the neighborhoods will make an intern more skillful at doing the job, but I bet I could put together a daily events and blog summary on Santa Fe from Brooklyn.

Arent many of the writers from the Brooklyn Paper also phoning it in from other cities? oh well..

Sounds like a great gig for a former Brooklynite who's off studying somewhere else. Or, for a kid from Ohio who's in Brooklyn for the first time.

Biff Champion I know you are looking for a Nemesis. I'm not going to engage you. But I know one thing, time is running out on your asset bubble. If I was you that would be a big priority, not calling out a poster named "The What".

Be careful brownstoner: you may be open to legal action if you do not pay your interns a legal wage under the fair labor standards act. It is not legal to have unpaid interns unless the internship counts towards college credits.

Yeah, because interns always get $7.75 an hour.

Brownstoner stated that there is a modest monthly stipend. Unless this stipend constitutes a legal wage there is a problem. Stipends are for unpaid internships with college credit otherwise it is illegal.

There was a recent department of justice class action law suit that related to illegally compensated interns decided in favor of the plaintiffs.
