How to Join:

At the beginning of each semester, mandatory orientations for Viewpoints students will be held in the Viewpoints newsroom (RCC Digital Library, Room 106), and via Zoom.

Viewpoints needs writers, editors, photographers, illustrators, podcasters and combinations thereof.
Students may sign up for Journalism 20 for writing and photography or for editing positions in Journalism 52.
Editing positions are available in news, features, opinion, sports, life, photography, design, advertising management, multimedia, social media management and online.

Applications for editing positions will be accepted at a determined time after the beginning of the semester. The application must be a signed and dated letter that identifies the editing position sought, an alternative position (optional), your experience and your goals for Viewpoints and your career. Optional materials may include a resume, published clips or writing samples, transcripts and letters of recommendation.
