The student-run newspaper at the University of Pittsburgh relies on dedicated groups to facilitate its various operations. These groups encompass reporters, editors, photographers, and those responsible for the technical aspects of broadcasting live news segments or producing visual content. The last group is crucial for setting up scenes, managing equipment, and ensuring the smooth execution of multimedia projects that complement written journalism.
These technical teams offer invaluable opportunities for students to gain practical experience in production, technical theatre, and multimedia technologies. Participation can translate into portfolio pieces, networking opportunities, and skill development applicable to diverse career paths within media, communications, and related fields. Moreover, the existence of these units allows the student paper to expand its reach and deliver news content in formats beyond traditional print.
