Contributing Writers and Photographers

Any DePaul University student can become a contributor to The DePaulia. New writers can join at any time throughout the year. Here’s who we are looking for:

• Writers: Contributing writers receive weekly story assignments from section editors, who assist with sources, angle and assign a deadline.
• Photographers: Assignments are sent weekly. Owning your own equipment is a plus, but not required. Email questions to Photo Editor Josh Leff.
• Videographers / Multimedia Producers: Multimedia assignments range from data mapping to videography to creating infographics. Email Online editor Yazmin Dominguez with any questions.
• Other: Can you code, illustrate or design – or have another skill? We’re always looking to add contributors with new abilities. Email the Editor-in-Chief or a managing editor if you think you might be a good fit.
