The Blue and Gold is committed to making your experience in SMU more valuable and enriching. We are looking for the following people:
Journalists
You don’t need to know how to write like the great authors of the day. When you sign up as a journalist, we will bring you through an exclusive Journalism Workshop, which will be held by professional journalists. This year, our special Journalism 101 and 201 workshops were conducted by Professor Dan Reimold of the University of Tampa in Florida, as well as Ms Serene Luo, journalist for the Straits Times.
After you attend the workshops, you’ll be equipped with the skills you need to get started on writing. You can either choose to be assigned to a particular event, or choose to cover one yourself. The Blue and Gold journalists are invited to a variety of events ranging from school events, musicals, and even sports events. If you’ve ever thought of interviewing somebody famous, this is your chance!
Marketing and Design Team
If you’re passionate about graphic design and layout, then B&G’s marketing team is the place to be. Imagine coming up with creative marketing programmes every week to support the official student publication – it might not be the easiest, but it will certainly be a very rewarding experience. Pick up tips on how to do brand promotion along the way!
The design team also handles the layout of B&G. The team convenes after the editorial team has assembled all the articles to be printed this issue.
Photography
If you can work a DSLR, The Blue and Gold is ideal for you. Not only do you get to hang out with people who thoroughly appreciate great camera angles (think journalists), but also get a chance to showcase your talents. You’ll also get to challenge yourself – taking photographs of natural moments, instead of waiting for the pose.
