Campus Editor: The campus editor reports to the Managing Editor-Campus and will help supervise Lantern practicum reporters, and senior writers. The campus editor will assign stories, monitor the progress of the reporters and enforce deadlines. The campus editor’s primary job will be the day-to-day management of the reporters, including the weekly reporter and freelancer meetings. However, the editor may be involved in long-term series or special projects. The campus editor helps lead and coordinate the paper’s online and printed coverage of breaking news. The campus editor will work with the multimedia editors to get stories online as soon as possible. The campus editor must attend all budget meetings.

The Lantern is the award-winning student newspaper at Ohio State. We are editorially independent of the university — that means Ohio State can’t tell us what we do or don’t publish, or what we can or cannot say. The majority of our funding comes from advertisements and endowments, and we receive a small amount from the university to support our LanternTV studio productions. Editors are paid throughout the school year via a monthly stipend provided through the School of Communication.

With a team of 23 editors and more than 40 reporters, The Lantern has been a mainstay of the university and has proven itself as a valuable community member. We have been on the frontlines of breaking news, delivering factual, thoughtful journalism to students, staff and faculty, alumni, and parents of Ohio State. In addition, our coverage includes university athletics, the Columbus area, and local art and music.
