<p>Hi,
I've always been really into creative writing - and I've also wanted to try journalism. Yet, during my time at high school, I had to quit the newspaper after my freshman year to focus on my tennis team and other activities. I know the Daily Cal is very hard to get into - but are there any other publications at Berkeley where I can start out and get some experience?
Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I’d like to second this question. I did a bit of work on the school newspaper in HS and loved the people I got to meet along the way.</p>
<p>There are actually small publications/newspaper on-campus. Just ask around and you’ll find some. I think there is a small Asian newspaper called Hardboiled (google em up). Try small organizations to build your resume up for DailyCal ;).</p>
<p>BARE Magazine (Fashion)
CLAM (Arts & Lit)
Caliber Magazine (Features)</p>
<p>Is working for something like Caliber a paid position?</p>
<p>Not sure. You can contact them on calibermag.org or on Facebook.</p>
<p>as an incoming freshman how do I join these groups or any group for that matter? Do I have to start emailing them right now or do I wait until the fall?</p>
<p>You officially apply in the fall, but you can always reach out with questions to the club board. </p>
<p>P.S. The folks at Caliber are very friendly and accessible.</p>
