We welcome K-State students of all majors. Although a number of our students are working towards careers in news media and are mass-communications majors, we appreciate the diverse perspectives from students of different majors. As students gain experience on the RP and Collegian, they often work their way upward to editorships. Incoming students often prove themselves as reporters, photojournalists, graphics journalists, designers, copy editors and online journalists. Student Publications Inc. To qualify for payroll, you must enroll in one academic credit during fall or spring semesters and one academic credit during summer semester.
Pay periods are every two weeks.
Reporters, photojournalists and graphics journalists are paid by piece rates. Advertising sales executives are paid 8 percent commission. Students working in advertising design, network management and the front office are paid hourly. The editor in chief of the publication has final authority for publication content, and content decisions rest in the hands of student editors. The Collegian and RP have a rich history of editorial independence.
