Staff
The IDS employs more than 200 students; 12 professional staff members serve as advisers. The IDS is the third largest employer of students on campus.
The student editor-in-chief is selected by a publications board that includes professional journalists and student representatives. The editor changes every semester – fall, spring and summer. Once selected, the editor chooses managing editors and desk editors for the semester through an application process. Staff members are drawn from all majors, and many major in the IU School of Journalism.
Management includes the editor-in-chief, managing editors, and the art director. Management chooses desk editors for the paper's campus, sports, region, arts, opinion, photo, general assignments, design, copy, multimedia, and web sections.
New writers, photographers, page designers, copy editors and web content producers are accepted on a rolling basis. Advertising sales representatives are usually hired in December and January. Creative, Marketing and Distribution typically hire new staffers at the end of every semester. Opinion columnists are also hired at the beginning or end of the semester. Writers are paid per story, photographers per photo that runs in the newspaper, designers per page they design and copy editors per hour.
