A simpler time...
We hope you’ll consider running for one of our open positions. If you are interested in joining our non-hierarchical team, here’s a quick guide on the election process for becoming a Daily editor.
the basics:
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.
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:
Coordinating Sports Managing Culture (x2) Coordinating News Illustrations News (x2) Photos Commentary (x2) Design + Production Features (x2) Multimedia (x2) Sci+tech Web + Social Media
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 4 of this issue). You can also stop by The Daily’s office in 2075 Robert-bourassa Blvd. Suite 500.
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.
Email your letter of intent to coordinating@mcgilldaily.com by April 4w at midnight.
