I note that fivethrityeight.com recently put out an advertisement for an unpaid intern. http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/06/fivethirtyeight-seeking-nyc-based.html

They also announced a deal with the New York Times.

Here's what the NYTimes has to say about unpaid internships:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/business/03intern.html

money quote: Ms. Leppink said many employers failed to pay even though their internships did not comply with the six federal legal criteria that must be satisfied for internships to be unpaid. Among those criteria are that the internship should be similar to the training given in a vocational school or academic institution, that the intern does not displace regular paid workers and that the employer “derives no immediate advantage” from the intern’s activities — in other words, it’s largely a benevolent contribution to the intern.
