This is a super bummer and I'm so sorry for the journalists/interns-to-be who had terrible luck, but an NPR internship isn't the only path to success in public radio! I was rejected twice (maybe three times?) and now I'm a full-time producer for @1a. https://twitter.com/NPRinterns/status/1247240641647607813

p.s. if you are one of the people who is no longer able to do your internship, I'm happy to chat with you about public radio...DM me!
