Prospective journalists, come on down. Artsy photo majors, we want you. ESPN fanboys, your ability to rattle off football stats from the ’70s is welcome here. We have something for everyone.
The Daily Reveille will be holding its biannual hiring session at 7 p.m. tonight in the Journalism Building’s Holliday Forum and positions available include news, entertainment, sports and opinion writers as well as copy editors, radio reporters, graphic designers, photographers and videographers.
News writers cover everything from the chancellor, crime and the Louisiana legislature to unique student trends and the LSU Greek community. Sports writers get to take the field, fighting with reporters from The Advocate to get the perfect quote from Zach Mettenberger about what was going through his mind when he threw the game-winning touchdown pass. Likewise, photographers will be just off the field, snapping away to capture the mood.
Are you upset about the caterpillars on campus? Do you think Student Government needs more transparency? Do you disagree with The Daily Reveille’s own opinion writers? We want to hear your voice. Join our staff as an opinion writer.
It will be an exciting time at LSU this fall with a newly combined system president position and a Tiger football team looking to get back into national championship contention. If you want the chance to contribute to the pages of The Reveille beyond your (mostly incorrect) crossword guesses, please apply.
Writers at the Reveille gain useful experience in communication, writing and critical thinking that will look good on any résumé, whether seeking internships or trying to spice up applications for grad school. Past staffers have gone on to cover the Phillies, the Dallas Cowboys and entertainment for The Huffington Post.
During my time at The Daily Reveille, I’ve met friends, covered a bomb threat and interviewed a man who planned to bike through every state in the continental U.S.
If you are looking for a job you can take pride in, I’d encourage everyone to apply tonight at the application session. Come with a pencil in hand at 7 p.m. in the Journalism Building, and we’ll show you why working for The Daily Reveille is one of the most rewarding jobs you can do.
