Please share the following information with CIT majors:
Why join Student Media?
Put those skills you learned in class to use
Are you taking journalism, creative writing, video production, graphic arts, marketing classes? Put those skills into practice with the student newspaper, The Macon Statement; the campus closed-circuit television station, MSC-TV; and/or the student literary journal, The Fall Line Review. The more you practice, the better you become. We have computers, software and cameras solely for Student Media use.
Learn new skills
You don’t have to be a CIT major (but if you are, why aren’t you here?) All three media offer on the job training in the skills necessary to put out a newspaper, news program or literary journal. We also offer off-campus training and travel opportunities to regional and national conferences and workshops. The skills you learn here, especially communication and time management, will carry over into any field. And the more skills you have the more marketable you are to an employer.
Build up your resume and portfolio
Participation in extracurricular activities looks good on a resume. So do examples of work done outside of the classroom. Get published. Employers want to see you can do the job not what classes you took. The more you do with Student Media, the more clips you have to choose from to show a potential employer.
And maybe even get paid for it
The Macon Statement pays writers, photographers, cartoonists per published assignment and pays 30 percent commission for advertising sold plus and art fee if ads are built in house. Editors are paid a flat monthly rate between $70 and $125 depending on position. The Fall Line Review has two paid editors and MSC-TV has one paid position, Managing Director.
Please stop the Student Media Center, SLC-120 and fill out an application. For more information, please see the Student Media Web site, http://www.maconstate.edu/studentlife/studentmedia.aspx or e-mail the Student Media Coordinator, ray.lightner@maconstate.edu
