The Daily Bruin is also is a tight knit group of people that instantly becomes some of your best friends. The newsroom has a homey feeling and you’re keenly aware that the people in the office are all working towards the same goal of informing students as best we can. The time commitment is very flexible and we have dogs in our office!
As a south campus major, I never considered joining the school newspaper. I thought it was just for aspiring journalists. Since joining, I have interviewed and developed relationships with professors and students in many different departments on campus. The stories I write are fulfilling and inspire a sense of pride, compassion and belonging within the Daily Bruin and on campus. At the same time, I’ve been able to honed my writing skills (which is essential for jobs in nearly every field). Graduate students are also encouraged to join!
