This article was alarming and seems like such a drastic response to complaints from past interns. I would think that such a well known and esteemed publication house such as Conde Nast would ignore petty complaints from angry past interns. I think internships with vogue and other magazines are so vital for those who are looking at fashion journalism as a prospective career that to get rid of them leave so many people lost and without a way for them to actually see if they like the field or not. I feel that if Conde Nast continues to offer unpaid internships, they will still attract applicants from all around who dream to get a chance to work with the greats in all types of publication.
