Thank you for your interest in The Mercury!

The Mercury is always accepting new applications. Completion of an application does not guarantee employment at The Mercury; each department (writing, photography and graphic art) and management position has an associated test and set of requirements.

The Mercury values maintaining a diverse newsroom through the perspectives and life experiences of its members. As such, The Mercury does not employ viewpoint discrimination within its hiring process. The Mercury does not require that applicants have a background in journalism — we welcome students from all backgrounds and majors, and we will train you in the fundamentals of journalism while working to develop your skills over time. 

Email the Editor-in-Chief and fill out this form if you are interested in a staff writer, photographer or artist position at The Mercury.

Our Editor-in-Chief will give you more details and is happy to answer any questions you may have.
