But it will be great experience...

The rather stern and (unintentionally) hilarious internship rules for the New York Sun newspaper have been published by Gawker, the Manhattan media and celebrity blog. We've seen continuing dispute in Canada about paid versus unpaid, but as far as we know nobody has ever dictated such a preppie dress code or how long your subway ride can be. And asking for a byline? The horror.

[UPDATE click comments below for link to story about the impending demise of the New York Sun.]

I love the line "Basic modesty is required" -- because clearly that is what is motivating the itemization of acceptable clothing items, yet it would be impossible to appear immodest in the wardrobe described.

Oh, well. Interns won't be subjected to any more of that: http://www.nysun.com/new-york/the-future-of-the-sun/85129/
