Who we are
The State News is brought to you through the hard work of five departments:
Advertising
Advertising is responsible for generating $2 million annually for The State News. We're always looking for outgoing people who are self-motivated and have a strong desire to work.
Business Office
The business office provides support to all the other departments. We're also responsible for all financial matters relating to the newspaper.
Distribution
The distribution team is responsible for delivering The State News to MSU and the surrounding area.
Editorial
At its core, The State News is about just that - news. Reporters, Designers, Editors, Photographers and Interns work together to bring relevant and objective information to the MSU community.
Production
Production is vital to the creation and structure of both the daily edition and statenews.com. Without this department the paper would never make it to circulation every day.
Requirements
To work at The State News, you must be a currently enrolled MSU student, and you must be available to work at least one full semester (two for the Production department).
In general, you must provide a resume in Microsoft Word, RTF, or Adobe PDF format, a physical or online portfolio, and an MSU class schedule to be considered for employment (requirements may vary by department).
You may contact The State News if you have any questions regarding employment.
