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. Every new staff member of the Wolfpacket must hold and fulfill the reporter position before possibly being promoted to an editor position. 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.

Photographers receive photo assignments from the photo editor and must be familiar with the use of a digital camera as well as photography techniques. Photographers will also be responsible for identifying students and are still responsible for other Wolfpacket duties such as distribution and reporting if they choose to. A strong desire to take pictures and talk to people is required as well as availability to attend games, performances, and travel for picture taking. Contributor positions are available. PLEASE ATTACH THREE (3) EXAMPLES OF YOUR WORK TO THIS APPLICATION.
