Oregonian internships disappear

For now, at least, according to Joe Grimm in Detroit who got the word from Portland's recruiter, George Rede. Budget problems is the word.

I know of at least one other large-paper internship that hangs in the balance right now as budget decisions are made. It is far from certain it will continue.

No reason to panic yet, but I hope this is not the tip of a much larger iceberg. It would be more evidence of the industry eviscerating itself.
