see this tweet + the replies asking questions about why a scheme to allegedly aimed to “diversify the media” is charging interns for what should be a free scheme (as it had been advertised.)https://twitter.com/The_Crox/status/1222272958145667078 …

I'm so confused??! It definitely wasn't advertised this way a few months ago?

I think someone clarified that the first two weeks are free, but they need to update the copy on their website

What I really don't get about this is how, under the hood of a 'free' scheme, even if there are bursaries that make it actually free, the bursaries exist to pay journalists for their flats. I thought this was charitable generosity, not a rent controlled marketplace.

Also if you think 'marketplace' is too strong a word (which of course you don't I'm just saying that for the next sentence). It's literally in their slides on building an 'airbnb for interns'. This sounds bad.https://twitter.com/PressPadUK/status/1222244388249776128?s=19 …
