CBS Advertising for Interns on Facebook

April 3rd, 2007 10:14 AM

It seems CBS is expanding its search for interns by placing not just ads on its Web site, but sponsored "news feed" items on Facebook, a social networking site popular among college students and recent college graduates:

Launch your journalism career with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work directly with Katie Couric and CBS News.

NB's Tim Graham and I have written about this recently. To win an internship, you may either write about global warming, an Iraq war veteran, or a "social entreprenuer."

Speaking of Facebook, yours truly has an account, and I encourage everyone on NB who has a Facebook account to join my group "NewsBusters.org Readers."
