Business Travel News Internship-
From Alan Tse:

"I just ended an internship at Business Travel New and they are looking for unpaid interns for credit in the Fall. It's a good opportunity to learn more about the travel industry and you get to do some journalism work. This is their website: http://www.btnonline.com/businesstravelnews/index.jsp Their office is located in the Nielsen building on 770 Broadway (near Astor Place) so it is very close to campus. If anyone is interested they can send resumes to David Meyer at: dmeyer@btnonline.com"
