<p>Do anybody know anything about unc's paper, the daily tar heel?
I am potentially going to be a freshman next and as editor of my high school newspaper, i am interested in continueing this on in college. Basicaly, can freshman write for it? If so, how do you go about getting on it and how many people are already on the paper?
thanks!</p>
<p>yeah, freshmen can write for it. my roommate joined it at the beginning of the year. basically, you can learn/apply to it all this fall festival where all the clubs are recruiting.</p>
<p>The DTH is an awesome college paper and wins national awards all the time.
Freshmen can write for it, and from what I understand they like you to start early. You'll be assigned to a certain section (like national or university news) and write articles for it specifically. Also, I believe they'll want you to spend at least two days a week at their headquarters "learning the ropes."</p>
<p>^^this is what friends at Carolina have told me; I'm an incoming freshman, too. :)</p>
