Get Involved

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. Email the Editor-in-Chief Shane René.
• Photographers: Assignments are sent weekly. Owning your own equipment is a plus, but not required. Email Photo Editor Xavier Ortega.
• Videographers / Multimedia Producers: Multimedia assignments range from data mapping to videography to creating infographics. Email Online Editor Bianca Cseke.
• 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 Shane René if you think you might be a good fit.

If you have a specific story you would like to submit or pitch, please email it to Editor-in-Chief Shane René and the corresponding editor. Staff contact information can be found here.

Letters to the Editor

Anyone within the DePaul community may submit a letter to the editor. All letters should be emailed to Opinions Editor Emma Oxnevad. For letters to be considered for publication they must adhere the following criteria:

• Must be timely
• Include name as well as title, if applicable to the letter

We edit and/or trim letters as little as possible, but we reserve the right to do so as necessary.
