With this application, one can apply to be a reporter, a photographer, or a cartoonist.

Reporters are the backbone to the Wolfpacket operation. Responsibilities include coming up with story ideas, writing assigned articles, interviewing sources, and communicating effectively with section editors and the editors-in-chief. Dedication, creativity, and passion are required for this position. Reporters can also apply to be photographers or cartoon artists, as long as reporting takes number one priority.

Although it is not mandatory, students who have taken Journalism 1 will have first priority. If you have not taken Journalism 1 and are not accepted, you are encouraged to re-apply for Journalism 2/Wolfpacket for Semester 2, after you have taken Journalism 1.
