You should be working for the campus newspaper

Below is an appeal from Mr. Klein for students to work at the Campus Carrier. If you're thinking of getting a job in media/journalism/PR, experience at the newspaper will be hugely beneficial.

I got my start at The East Carolinian at ECU in Greenville, NC. Started as a staff writer, then news editor, then managing editor. Had a great time. Went on to work at major and minor news outlets, including the Boston Herald.

Take care,
Dr. Matt
