The Mcgill Daily

the 2017-18 editorial board.

We hope you’ll consider running for one of our open positions. If you are interested in joining our nonhierarchical team, here’s a quick guide on the election process for becoming a Daily editor. the basics:

Unlike many student newspapers, our editors are elected by Daily staffers rather than hired by a committee. To run for an editorial position or to vote in the election, you must be Daily staff.

the editorial board:

Editors share equal voting rights on issues, and work together to produce the newspaper every week. Each editor receives a monthly stipend. For more information on individual positions, contact specific section editors (emails can be found on page 3 of this issue). You can also stop by The Daily’s office in Shatner B-24.

becoming staff:

To be staff, you must have six staff points – contributing articles, photos, graphics, and illustrations count as one point each. Writing a feature or coming in for a production night count as two points. If you’re not staff yet, there’s time before the election, so email an editor to get involved! the positions: Managing, Commentary, Design + Production, Multimedia, News (x3), Sci+tech

deadlines:

The Daily requires all candidates to submit a one-page application that includes your qualifications and interest in running, as well as two samples of writing, photos, illustrations, or design.
