I'm just thinking about the latest situation in regards to PR Internships in London. Are they paid now? If so, is it roughly around 18-20k? Or am I dreaming?
As a fashion journo doing an internship in London with lots of grad friends in PR, I would say they do exist but they are far and few between!
First of all you have to filter through all the ones which only pay for expenses (they pay for your travel...to get where? The house you can't afford because you're being paid in sandwiches) and look for ones with an actual salary.
But even then 18-20k is probably a bit higher, think more 14k-16k is a bit more realistic starting salary at the moment, just from personal experience, doesn't mean they don't exist. One of my grad friends is on 23K!!
Just got to keep your eyes peeled and be ready to pounce. This is a good website for PR and journo jobs.
Best of luck finding something
