Student Publications

The Student Publications Program at Western Washington University serves to showcase and archive the diverse talent and effort of student produced journalism, arts, literature, and research. As an activity, Student Publications provides more than 50 student jobs each quarter and a platform to present the independent and academic work of hundreds of students each year. Paid positions provide experience in Management, Editing, Photography, Graphic Design, Advertising Sales, Community Networking, Distribution, and Administration. As a service, our award winning publications deliver independent news as well as scientific, artistic and academic content to Western’s campus and the community beyond.
All Western students are eligible to participate in publications staff work. Student editors-in chief are appointed by the Publications Council and receive a salary. The editorial management teams they hire are compensated in hourly income. Students may enroll in staff courses for credit; the courses are supervised by faculty of the Department of Journalism or, in the case of The Planet, Huxley College. Jeopardy is supervised by the English Department. Student
publications are an essential component of a creative writing and a journalism education. Western students are given the opportunity to practice what they learn in hands-on student publication laboratories, culminating in professional quality publications, including The Western Front, Klipsun, Jeopardy, Occams Razor and The Planet.
