Staff[]
Sagamore staff members take the Journalism I and Journalism II classes, which complement their work on the paper. Depending on how long a student has served on the staff, different positions become available to them.
In a student's first year, they are restricted to a basic journalist position as a staff writer. This involves conducting interviews and writing articles as they learn about journalistic ethics, procedures, and skills in the accompanying Journalism I class.
In the second year, the faculty advisors assign leadership positions. These include section writing, section layout editing, photo, and business team. These positions are in addition to the responsibilities of the first year, but the Journalism II class includes more production time.
Third-year students, in the Journalism II class along with second-year students, are assigned to a different set of jobs at Sagamore, including the position of Editor-in-Chief (EIC). This position is shared between two or three students selected by the advisers.[citation needed]
