Many of you may already know of the choices that are given to Journalism students looking for freelance opportunities with campus wide publications. But on the whole, such media outlets seem to be overlooked. And because of this--whether lack of information or lack of concern--I wonder about the future of such venues.
Places like Spartanedge.com, a completely online campus news outlet, are making headway in the convergence realm of journalism. EJ magazine a student run "green" periodical, is associated with the Knight Center for Environmental journalism at MSU. For those looking for broader writing options, there's always Offbeat magazine, a literary collection open to all writers who are linked to the Michigan area. If you're ambitious, the news weekly City Pulse welcomes those of the Lansing/East Lansing area who have found interesting and informative anecdotes about the city. The stories in City Pulse tend to be longer than your typical news article, however.
The list definitely goes on. If any of you have any opportunities to share with the rest of us, feel free.
One can never have too many clips.
