Spectator Opinion’s fortnightly feature The Canon is receiving applications for an open regular contributor position.
The Canon runs every other Wednesday during Spectator’s normal production cycle and is dedicated to the discussion of Columbia’s perennial problems. Each issue features multiple submissions addressing a common prompt.
Since it began in January, The Canon has featured two regular contributors, Esfandyar Batmanghelidj and Derek Turner. In addition to writing a fortnightly column, the regular contributors were responsible for planning and outreach for each issue.
As Derek is graduating this month, we are looking for someone to replace him. Interested applicants should send a 2-3 page writing sample to Lanbo Zhang, Editorial Page Editor, at opinion@columbiaspectator.com.
i love hearing diverse opinions!
Should the writing sample be an opinion piece/ editorial, or just any old sample?
Any sample that shows how you would write if you became a regular contributor.
What’s the deadline?
There isn’t a hard deadline as of yet. Consider it rolling for now, but check back for updates.
