We look forward to reading your application for The Quad, the Daily Bruin’s explanatory journalism section. The Quad’s mission is to break down newsworthy stories happening on campus and in the greater Los Angeles community to make topics more digestible for our readers. Our stories cover student life, resources for students, city and country-wide news relevant to Bruins and everything in between. The Quad does not incorporate opinion or first-person writing into its pieces, and distinguishes itself from The Bruin’s News section by incorporating a comprehensive background and additional context for all of the stories and topics we cover, rather than covering one single current event.

All applications are due October 7 at noon PST (Monday of Week 2). Applications must be submitted through this application portal at the deadline; we cannot accept any late applications or applications via email. Once applications have been received, you will be invited in for an interview at the Daily Bruin office located in Kerckhoff Hall.

If accepted, you will be required to attend trainings tentatively set for Oct. 19 and 20, Oct. 26 and 27, and Nov. 2 and 3. These trainings are mandatory for all interns.

If you have any questions please send an email to Quad Editor Alicia Park at [email protected] and Quad Assistant Editor Katherine Wang at [email protected]. Please feel free to reach out with any inquiries you may have about our section and our application!

Best, Alicia and Katherine
