This London Fashion Intern is puzzled by the ratio of internships vs proper J*** on Gorkana. I might have found an explanation beyond the usual the-industry-is-not-hiring-anymore: the site doesn't charge for adverts for internships or work experience.
So really, hiring interns who applied via Gorkana is all beneficial for the magazine/newspaper. They don't pay for the workfrorce or even to recruit it.

This seems wrong. Gorkana should charge businesses for those adverts. The industry over-reliance on interns will not evolve unless everyone makes an effort, and that includes job posting sites.
On the other hand, making internship advertising free might encourage companies to open up to people from different background rather than relying on hearsay. One can wish.
