Which Woroni Wombat will you be?

One of the key findings from our 2016 Student Consultation was that students do not know how to get involved with Woroni Print, Radio (and soon to be Television). Some students also explained that they felt like you have to part of an exclusive club to get your work published in our pages, or that they were not even sure what we do.

Well, we are not an exclusive club. In fact, we aren’t even that cool. But we do have multiple media platforms and like to think we do quite a bit in the way of producing interesting, informative, accurate and relevant content, fostering student creativity and expression, and helping students develop professional journalism and media skills.

Sound slightly appealing? Want to get involved? Want to know how?

Here is your Woroni 101 Guide. Every position available, big and small, is listed below. Please have a read through and see if anything sounds like it could be your cup of tea. And don’t hold back, you can apply for more than one position!
