Working at The Spectator

Meetings

The full staff meets every Monday night at 7:00 p.m. in The Spectator office, which is located in the basement of Campion Hall next to The Cave. At this time, section editors assign their weekly stories to our writers, photographers and volunteers.

Apply for a Paid Position

Editors, writers, photographers and designers at The Spectator are paid on a quarterly basis and new paid staffers are hired throughout the year as needed.

Writers: Email a resume, cover letter and two writing samples—preferably journalistic in style—to [email protected].

Photographers and designers: Email a resume, cover letter and portfolio to [email protected].

Students applying to be staff writers and photographers are required to volunteer as part of the application process. Students interested in contributing to The Spectator are encouraged to attend a staff meeting and volunteer for a pitched story at that time.

Volunteer For Us

Volunteer photographers and writers are always invited to attend our weekly staff meetings. Our meetings are open to the community and there are many volunteer opportunities available. Please do not hesitate to join us on Monday nights; we love to see new faces at our meetings and hear fresh voices in our paper.
