Nearly 100 Yalies joined the Yale Daily News over the last semester. They reported on faculty research and new grants, photographed campus and city protests, covered a full election season in New Haven and painstakingly laid out pages in InDesign for the weekly print edition of the News. Today, they begin producing content as staffers for the Oldest College Daily.

More than 30 staff members will join the University, City, SciTech, Sports and Arts desks as associate beat reporters, delivering weekly stories on specific areas ranging from criminal justice to sustainability. Three new reporters will cover Yale’s athletes on the sports desk. More than 20 will contribute creative writing, long-form journalism and commentary to either WKND, the News’ Friday supplement, or the News’ magazine. Dozens more join the News’ multimedia and production desks as staff photographers, copy editors, illustrators, videographers, podcasters and members of the production and design team. 

You’ll begin seeing our newest staffers’ work on our website and in print starting this week. We’re thrilled to welcome this group to our newsroom.
