Started in 1875, The Maine Campus newspaper is put out every Monday and Thursday by young writers across campus. This periodical focuses around the latest news, trends, performances, entertainment, and sports reports happening at the University of Maine at Orono.
As a student newspaper, The Campus gives students in the fields of Journalism and Communication the opportunity to get hands-on experience before going out into the workforce. Some students who are not even in this major write opinion pieces for the paper to get their voices heard. The newspaper lets students on campus express their writing and gives them the chance to have others read it.
I am a journalism major and have written for the school newspaper a few times. It's rewarding to see your name in print and get paid for it. Writing for The Maine Campus is not only a resume builder, but also helps students grow as writers with help from their editors, who are also students. To contact the newspaper, call (207) 581-1271, or stop by their office on the first floor of the Memorial Union on campus.
