There will be an interest meeting for The Pendulum at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 18 at The Pendulum’s office on Williamson Avenue. Come get to know the staff, learn how to get involved and have some ice cream! No previous experience is necessary, and the event is open to both current reporters and staff members and people who are just interested in joining.
We are always looking for new people to help out with everything from video to writing to photography to design. We’re not just about print at the newspaper anymore.
Everyone is welcome to stay after the meeting to participate in our weekly staff meeting.
