I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hearst (New York, NY) in Mar 2011
Interview
Very pleasant interview-- I was just speaking to an assistant a little older than me, so everything was informal, although you could tell they were looking for specific skills in their candidates. HR was not involved at all until after I accepted the job.
I submitted my resume and cover letter and then I received a reply back. I went in for the Interview and it took around 15 minutes. Mostly, they ask you to describe yourself and then they explain the intern position, role, and tasks to you. Then they expect you to ask questions. Therefore, have questions ready.

I applied online. I interviewed at Hearst in Feb 2014
Interview
The interview was a phone interview. I briefly talked to a management member in the department I was applying for to talk about what my interests were and what I've done in the past. The manager then told me a bit about their job and what different projects would be available for interns to work on that summer.
