Are you an Ohio University student interested in working with The New Political?

The New Political provides an avenue to learn how to tell news in the 21st century, especially when it comes to politics. Producing news for an online audience is a learning experience, and as a student-run news site, we want you to learn with us. If you’re interested, we hire year-round for a variety of staff positions, from news reporters to social media managers, to web developers. You don’t have to have any experience, either — we’ll teach you what you need to know.

To get involved, either fill out the form below or email execedit@thenewpolitical.com. Weekly all-staff meetings are held on Sundays at 7 p.m.

Letters to the Editor

To submit a letter to the editor, please email us at execedit@thenewpolitical.com. All letters must be from an Athens resident, Ohio University alumni or Ohio University student/faculty member.

Policies

For guest submitted letters, it is critical they be vigorously fact-checked to ensure there is no spreading of misinformation within them. The identity of the author must be confirmed.

Letters from political organizations or other interest groups will not be accepted. Only letters from individuals who wish to share their own viewpoint will be published. Guest pitches from media or political organizations will not be accepted or reviewed. 

Letters are never solicited by any staff member of The New Political and must be submitted independently.

We will not accept anonymous submissions. Unsigned letters and letters containing personal attacks the newspaper deems to be of a libelous nature will not be published.

The New Political reserves the right to edit for clarity and to refuse to publish letters to the editor.
