Asiana Times Journalism Intern Reviews

Likes

There was absolutely nothing I liked while working with Asiana Times. The people working there are extremely unprofessional and use foul language and threats.

Dislikes

A number of things: - It’s exploitative. It’s unpaid and expects the work of a paid professional. They require you to devote time on weekends, time in the afternoon, morning and evening. - Extremely unprofessional. They resort to using threats and intimidation towards unpaid interns to write a 550 word report every single day with a one-hour window. - Plagiarism. The work involves copying and stealing from other news sites. To cover this strategy up, they require the article you copy from to be not more than 3 hours old. - They do not check the quality of the work you produce, rather they check whether the work meets the 550 word deadline. - They are UNABLE to check the quality of the work as they are not familiar with the English language themselves. They had given a grammar test as a part of the selection process and the questions themselves had incorrect grammar....Read More

The fact that they gave training for everything from scratch. It's really appreciated.

Dislikes

The attitude of the supervisor (Ms. James). Also, not a sufficient amount of off-days. Some kind of incentives also would've been better, for all the work the interns put into this.

I had the opportunity to complete a HR internship at Asiana Times, and it was an enriching experience. The company culture was welcoming, and the HR team was supportive and knowledgeable. Throughout the internship, I was exposed to various aspects of HR, including recruitment, candidates engagement, and many more things. One of the highlights of the internship was completing thr target. I was given the responsibility to source candidates, screen resumes, and conduct initial interviews. This experience helped me develop my communication and interpersonal skills. Overall, my HR internship at Asiana Times was a valuable learning experience. The HR team provided me with guidance and support, and I gained practical skills that will be useful in my future career. I would highly recommend Asiana Times as a great place to intern for anyone interested in pursuing a career in HR, JOURNALISM, ETC....Read More

The only thing I liked about working at Asiana Times is that I got to see my published posts on a domain.

Dislikes

It was kinda below expectations. I thought they would teach me real financial journalism but they just had me read the information from other news sites and write an article everyday. This seems kinda exploitative because I'm not really earning money and I am uploading content to their website and they are earning money. Would not recommend working here. It was a waste of my time. Plus I couldn't publish some articles due to a mistake on their end and they still don't own up to their mistakes. I hated it....Read More

The timings were flexible and the firm gives you an amazing opportunity to build your skills at the comfort of your house. The supervisors are very supportive and always help you in building your skills and choosing the correct path. An amazing chance to learn and explore new things.

Dislikes

The only thing I personally dislike is that couldn’t get an opportunity to work physically (in the office) since it was work from home. Apart from this everything else is really good and up to the expectations.

I don’t think so there are any dislike about working at Asiana Times but I would like to give one suggestion. Embrace digital transformation: as the publishing industry evolves, it’s crucial for Asiana Times to adapt to the digital era. Invest in robust online presence, mobile apps and ePaper editions to reach a wider audience and engage readers in new ways.
