Diamondback Online - The University of Maryland's Independent Daily Student Newspaper

Issue date: 5/9/08 Section: Opinion

The opinion page is looking for staff columnists for the fall semester. Applicants need no prior writing experience but must be able to write persuasively about issues relevant to the campus community.

To better serve our readers, we will be increasing the focus of the page on campus, city and state issues rather than ones of national or international importance.

Good opinion contributions do not merely react to news events, but offer readers analysis and perspectives that give them a deeper understanding of the issues.

In this vein, we are looking for a heterogeneous applicant pool in terms of academic majors and personal backgrounds.

If you are interested in devoting time to researching and writing about these types of issues, please contact the editors via our recruitment email at dbkopinion@gmail.com.

The only requirement for application is the submission of two well-researched and persuasive columns totaling 700 words in length each. Please apply.
