The Point Reyes Light, possibly the most pretentious paper on earth,
angles once again for unpaid interns:
Quote:
Positions are being offered at the Pulitzer Prize-winning Point Reyes Light, located in Marin County, CA., north of San Francisco.
The newspaper is looking for literary journalists who plan on becoming the next Orwell, Kapuscinski or Didion. Photojournalists should aspire to Magnum membership.
The Light has an institutional reputation that far exceeds its size. It is a mighty-mite of a paper. Last year, the newspaper was purchased by Columbia Journalism School graduate Robert Plotkin, who is now serving as editor and publisher.
You will be allowed to produce your best work. It will not be degraded out of concern for advertisers or illiterates. Exemplary stories and photographs will be submitted for the full panoply of awards. You will be encouraged to win the Light another Pulitzer. Apply year round. Reporters please send an email with three clips. Photojournalists may attach as many as 20 photographs.
