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.

Famous quotes containing the word staff:
“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“We achieve “active” mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalms, 23:4.
