Students from any major are encouraged to join the Advance-Titan, the independent student newspaper of UWO. Not only will you improve your writing skills, but you will also learn how to conduct interviews, take and edit photos, become proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, edit stories for AP Style and factual errors and grow connections within the campus and Fox Valley community.

The paper is made up of four sections:

• News
• Opinion
• Arts and Culture
• Sports

Students can dive into their specific interests. The A-T offers positions in writing (news, sports, opinion and arts and culture), advertising sales and design, graphic design (page design, illustrations, logos and infographics), photography (sports, news, features, etc.), cartoon drawing and copy editing. You can help weekly, bi-weekly or occasionally, depending on your schedule.

The Advance-Titan newspaper is produced weekly during the fall and spring semesters on Tuesdays (4 to 10 p.m. or later) and distributed on Thursdays. The print papers can be found around campus on kiosks and wire racks and are FREE for students, staff, faculty and the general public. Limited quantities can also be found in Oshkosh businesses, including the Oshkosh Public Library, Oshkosh Food Co-Op and other businesses downtown and near campus.

Each 5 p.m. on Tuesdays, the Advance-Titan holds planning/brainstorming meetings for the following week’s content. The meetings are held in Sage Hall, Room 3412. Email atitan@uwosh.edu if you have any questions or just stop by!

Students can also stay after the Tuesday meeting to see production in action, learning about newspaper design, helping copy edit stories, and much more.

Support student journalism and The Advance-Titan

The Advance-Titan is an independent student newspaper and a fully functioning business enterprise. Students are responsible for multimedia news production across a variety of platforms (weekly newspaper, web site, social media, etc.). Students are also responsible for selling advertising to earn revenue to support the organization. We usually also receive money through the Oshkosh Student Group’s SAC fees, but the amount can vary widely, making it difficult to budget from year to year.

The Advance-Titan is always looking for donations to help fund needed equipment, training opportunities and general expenses.

If you’d like to support student journalism, send a check made out to UW-Oshkosh and mail it to The Advance-Titan, 800 Algoma Blvd., Oshkosh, WI 54901.

You can also email the A-T’s faculty adviser, Ben Birkinbine, with any ideas how the student newspaper can become more financially self-sufficient. He can be reached at birkinbineb@uwosh.edu.

The entire Advance-Titan staff thanks you for your support!
