Business Insider reports that interns are earning INSANE Salaries — up to $7,500 a month.
I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.
As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.
As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.

Yes, I have rented some rooms for tech interms in the past, and they are willing to pay top dollar for temporary accommodation.
I’d recommend hosting an intern for the profitability of it as well as the fact that they are usually very nice people. The rent is guaranteed by their employer and of course (crucially in this town) you know they will leave at the end of the lease.
They also tend to work about 12 hours a day, so are not littering up your property all day long.

Good to see you offering no serious refutations. I anticipated that but getting confirmation is always reassuring.
