The Burlington (Mass.) Union shot an interview with their intern. What a great recruiting tool!

WHAT THEY DID: They asked intern Patrick Brewin, an English major at the University of Massachusetts - Lowell, to talk about his experiences working for GateHouse Media New England NorthWest of Boston group of weekly newspapers. He spoke in glowing terms about the sense of cameraderie that extended to him, the ability to get his "hands dirty" in the field, practicing real journalism, among other positive things.

THE TAKEAWAY: Use this great tool to reach out to schools in your area to recruit interns. If your interns can share their enriching experiences, you'll find it easier to recruit more.
