At PSFK, I was given the opportunity to manage and challenge myself as an editorial intern.

Pros
The editorial staff at PSFK is small, which allows for many opportunities for clips and for original pitches. Editorial interns are treated as members of the staff; this was very valuable for me as I was entering my final semester of journalism school. Going into my experience at PSFK, I knew I didn't want to be coddled as an intern and was ready to be treated as a professional. I got that professional experience from day one, as I was expected to jump in as a regular and efficient contributor to the site.
Cons
The time I spent at PSFK was a pivotal period of transition for the staff. When I started, I had three different editors than when I finished as an intern. This transition allowed for an occasional lack of communication among editorial staff members, particularly to me. Whereas I felt like very much a member of the editorial team the majority of the time, there was a large contrast during the beginning of this staff change. I was not aware of many of the staff changes until before they were going to occur. Because my experience of being a respected contributor at PSFK was exceptional to other internships, this lack of communication felt heightened.
