Condé Nast’s internship program — the storied, unpaid magazine boot camp that indirectly gave us The Hills — is ending. This decision comes two years into the Great Unpaid-Intern Uprising, which began when former Harper’s Bazaar intern Diana Wang sued Hearst for back pay in 2012. A year ago in March, Condé Nast retooled its own program, requiring stipends and limiting long hours. But it wasn’t enough to insulate the Vogue publisher from the revolution: This June, two former interns for W and the New Yorker sued Condé Nast for paying them less than a dollar an hour. By taking a stand for exploited workers everywhere they pretty much ruined it for everyone else. When I worked there, the punch line for the clueless intern joke was always, “Daddy’s sending me to Condé Nast.” Jokes aside, it’s a shame because it was a way to get a foot in the door – even if it was mandatory that it be wearing Louboutins.
