Interested in working for the Arizona Daily Wildcat, KAMP Student Radio or UATV-3?

Arizona Student Media engages nearly 200 paid and volunteer students in meaningful real-world experiences in journalism, media, design and business that complement coursework and provide students with intensive leadership roles. The student-run Arizona Daily Wildcat, KAMP Student Radio and UATV-3 provide a vibrant living media lab for students to learn, innovate and impact — not only the campus & local communities but their own lives and careers in whatever field they choose. 

The Daily Wildcat

The Daily Wildcat offers a variety of opportunities for students to practice journalism in a professional work environment. Roles include reporting and editing to accounting, graphic design and advertising support/marketing. We typically begin hiring at the start of each semester and often a second time halfway through each semester.

Newsroom

The Daily Wildcat and DailyWildcat.com employ more than 100 reporters, photographers, copy editors and visual designers (among other positions) during the school year, and a couple dozen during the summer. Though prior journalism experience is not an official requirement, applicants for all positions will be expected to submit an application and samples of their work. Contact the Editor-in-Chief at editor@dailywildcat.com for more details and information on how to apply.

Why should I work at the Wildcat?

The Daily Wildcat is the university’s only student-run, editorially independent newspaper. We publish content online 24/7 and in print monthly.

Working at the Wildcat will give you a significant advantage over average students in the job market, beyond adding a few new lines to your resume. Wildcat staff gain hands-on journalism experience, improve their writing and interviewing skills, build connections in the university community and journalism world and learn how to design a print product.

In their post-Wildcat careers, alums have worked for a variety of high-profile organizations — from NBC Sports to the Associated Press — and have covered everything from the Olympics to the White House.

How do I know if I’m qualified for the position?

Previous journalism experience is not required; however, you must have strong writing abilities and quickly adopt the Daily Wildcat’s style in your writing.
