Employment
Thank you for your interest in student employment opportunities at The Columbia Chronicle, Columbia College Chicago’s award-winning, student-run newspaper and digital news operation!
The deadline for Spring 2023 applications is Sunday, December 4 at 11:59 p.m. Priority may be given to early applicants. Please read the information below carefully before applying.
The Chronicle will review all applications, conduct interviews and reference checks when appropriate and make most hiring decisions for Spring 2023 by mid-December. Students hired for Spring 2023 will be invited to employee training sessions, which will be held in a hybrid format (with in-person and remote options) in mid-January, and expected to begin work at that time if possible.
You are encouraged to review the questions asked below and the required documents needed before starting your application.
If you are not immediately hired, don’t be discouraged! We encourage you to keep developing your skills and to reapply each semester and/or when vacancies become available. We have a limited number of positions at any given time, but encourage all applicants to stay in touch. Many of our current student employees were not hired the first time they applied, but their persistence and growth were ultimately rewarded.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not receive a personalized email confirming receipt of your application within four (4) days of applying, or if you have any problems uploading your work sample files, please email management@columbiachronicle.com.
