ABOUT NOMMO

Established in 1968 as the first ethnic publication on a public university campus, Nommo Newsmagazine has been a journalistic voice for Afrikan students and communities everywhere. From our written works critiquing the complacency of the university in war crimes to our visual artworks re-imagining the injustices of the incarceration complex, we have continued to nourish the roots of Nommo's liberating storytelling aimed at telling the narratives of the most marginalized. As a result, Nommo believes in the freedom of press as a means of upholding human rights - not as a weapon to dismantle them.

ABOUT THE POSITION

Per quarter, writers will publish 2-3 articles online with the option of featuring them in our print magazine. The topics of these articles is incredibly flexible so please have fun with your process! Emphasis should be placed on Afrikan narratives but beyond this lens, anything from campus news, to concert coverage, creative writing, and food reviews of local restaurants will be eligible for publishing. On top of drafting and editing their works, writers are expected to attend mandatory weekly all-staff meetings to reconvene, update on progress, and get to know the publication!

TRAINING
