Pros:
- WP interns do actual reporting and writing which is incredible.
- WP has a ton of other properties and not just the Washington Post paper.
- Paid (some journalism internships go unpaid).
- Researched, reported, and wrote. can't ask for much more.
Cons:
nothing. Office is kind of outdated, but that is being very picky. Digital disruption is hurting the company (every publisher really).
Advice for other students:
Apply! I really enjoyed my time at Washington Post. I'm hoping it may turn into a fulltime job.

Pros:
- Lot of integrity and history in the Washington Post. You feel that with the employees.
- I performed mostly research and perspective client information. Basically, worked with the account team to give them qualified leads and messages that would designate.
- I love journalism mixed with commerce, so WP was a great place to be. Loved the energy.
Cons:
The newspaper business is tough right now (which is obvious).
Advice for other students:
Don't be afraid to call the recruiters and talk with them.
