Clearly Boston Review is making it on free labor. Just go to bostonreview.net/about/internships and see that these internships are actual jobs necessary for their business success. Non profit isn't a ticket to free labor, nor are internships. If they are so politically sensitive, why are they taking advantage of students by not paying them for their hard labor? Full time work for no wages? How are these people supposed to live? Why do interns need to invest in Boston Review? These are not watch and learn jobs, these are essential positions which require existing skills.
It is against federal labor law to not pay workers who do work that benefits the company in any way.
