Editorial terms begin in March and last one year, although sometimes assistant editor positions become available during the year. If you have story ideas, complaints, questions, or concerns, it is best to start with the section editor. If that editor cannot answer your question or address your concern, then they will direct you to a Managing Editor or the Editor in Chief. The Editor in Chief is the sole editorial voice for the paper and, as such, handles all complaints and corrections unless other editors are given permission to handle these complaints. Editorial board meetings are held Fridays at 5 p.m.
Any staff writer is welcome to attend.
To become a staff writer, you must write for the paper consistently for approximately one semester. At these meetings, the board decides which editorials will be included in Monday's paper. The Eagle occupies University space and is a student organization, which means that the staff must follow University guidelines and procedures at all times. The Eagle is located on the second floor of Mary Graydon Center in room 227.
