Staff Writer

Staff Writers are responsible for pitching, writing, and editing satirical news articles. In addition to attending weekly meetings, staff writers are expected to help workshop other articles during table-reads and offer their thoughts on all pitched content. Each staff writer will be assigned to an editing group, where they will work closely with a managing editor to strengthen content and voice.

    • Hi! We accept applications in fall quarter. Other than that, we usually tend to slow down during the summer so there’s unfortunately not much for now. We really appreciate the interest! If you know anywhere we can give out newspapers that would be a big help.
