Shows are initiated and produced by the individual DJs. Following its success on campus, KRUJ has recently initiated a DJ crew equipped with professional equipment for dances, parties and special events throughout the community. Although KRUJ Radio currently broadcasts only on campus, we are working toward an FM broadcasting license that would allow us to broadcast to a larger audience. The editorial has fun, works hard and enjoys seeing its good work in print. To encourage participation, academic credit is available through enrollment in the appropriate Journalism courses.
Prior experience is also helpful.
Those looking toward careers in journalism or related fields may work on the paper to sharpen their professional tools. However, Catalyst staff members are not required or expected to be Journalism majors. Key staff positions are often held by students majoring in fields other than Journalism, and as many significant contributions are made by freshmen as by seniors. The Catalyst is distributed, free of charge, throughout the campus community. It integrates news, commentary and other features, drawing a readership of more than 90 percent of the student body and an almost equal proportion of faculty and administrators.
