The Lumberjack<\/a> is the student voice of Northern Arizona University, and has been since it was founded in 1914<\/a>. A lot has changed since the early 20th<\/sup> century. That first issue of what was then called The Pine<\/em> was circulated around a small college then known as Northern Arizona Normal School. While students voted in 1946 to rename the weekly publication The Lumberjack<\/em>, the student-run newspaper is still performing vital functions of recording and informing student life at NAU, as well as Flagstaff and the northern Arizona community.<\/p>\n Today, The Lumberjack<\/em> is a 24\/7 news operation staffed entirely by students who contribute to all aspects of the publication\u2019s workflow while receiving class credit toward graduation and developing skills that professional media platforms look for in journalists. Students brainstorm stories, plan, report, write, edit, photograph, illustrate and design the weekly publication, while receiving input and guidance from a full-time faculty advisor with decades of professional newsroom experience. The Lumberjack\u2019s<\/em> website<\/a> provides a platform for breaking news, updates on previous stories, multimedia projects and digital journalism, while the publication\u2019s student-run social media team<\/a> is constantly engaging with readers.<\/p>\n The \u201cworkshop\u201d environment of The Lumberjack<\/em> allows students to gain essential hands-on experiential training in an actual newsroom setting. This unique setting allows students to enroll in classes aligned with The Lumberjack<\/em> early in their NAU careers and begin accruing credit toward graduation. If you want to jump into writing for any of the paper\u2019s sections, or if you want to contribute as a photographer or an illustrator, those opportunities are open to you as a freshman.<\/p>\nMeet the team<\/h3>\n\n
