Richard Prince's Journal-isms
Three students hired as Montgomery Advertiser summer interns were told they don't have jobs because of sudden budget cuts at the Gannett paper. "The Montgomery decision came after the interns had already made preparations to go to Alabama, including taking urine tests," writes Richard Prince. The displaced interns were quickly picked up by South Bend-based Schurz Communications, which owns 15 dailies and five weeklies. A Schurz veep says he couldn't let "these young people have their internship pulled out from under them."
