The Daily Bruin’s Copy section serves as the readers’ advocate for the newspaper. We work with every section of the Bruin as the final eyes on all content, and we edit for accuracy, grammar, style and sensitivity. We have won awards for our headline portfolios on a state and national level, and we serve as the watchdogs for the Bruin!

If you have any questions about Copy, please email the co-Copy chiefs, Lucine Ekizian and Wendy Mapaye, at [email protected] and [email protected].

A Daily Bruin Copy intern will assist in completing the following tasks:

• Complete rimming shifts where they will copy edit articles before one of Copy’s editors takes a final look, and receive feedback on their edits!

• Draft headlines for stories they edit on rimming shift and receive guidance from the sections’ editors.

• Attend bi-weekly section meetings, where they will be able to meet other interns, Copy editors and crosstrainers, while learning more about the section!

Over the course of their internship, a Daily Bruin Copy intern will learn the following:

• Sharpening editing skills: Copy interns will be able to edit articles on their rimming shift and receive weekly feedback from their editors!

• Strong interpersonal skills: Copy edits content from every section of the paper, so Copy interns will be able to strengthen communication skills both within Copy and throughout the vast landscape of the Bruin!

• Attention to detail: From placing commas to headline writing, Copy interns will be able to strengthen their attention to detail during their weekly rimming shifts, and will be a part of polishing the final product!
