Write for The Arbiter
To get involved with The Arbiter, you can volunteer, intern, enroll in the class, or apply for a paid position.
- Volunteers are always welcome to write articles for the paper. This is a low-intensity, flexible time commitment in which students would be expected to write as many (or as few) articles as they would like.
- Media 119/319 is the class-credit option for students to get involved. It takes place Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30-2:45, and over the course of a semester, students will learn to become professional journalists in the field.
- Students may be eligible for course credit for an internship with The Arbiter.
- Finally, students are encouraged to apply for paid staff positions. These applications open up mid-way through the spring semester for the next academic school year, unless an opportunity becomes available during the academic year.
Become a Radio Show Producer
