Writing for the Harvard Crimson?

People from a variety of different concentrations and academic areas are involved in The Crimson - that type of thing really has no bearing at all on how much someone is able to be involved with the newspaper or what positions they’re able to attain. Economics concentrators, pre-med people, History & Literature concentrators, Social Studies, etc … plenty of people in these areas have taken on executive roles. Also, people who had no previous newspaper experience in HS or anywhere - like me - are also able to take on higher positions. It’s all about what you do once you get to the newspaper, not what you did in high school or what you’re studying.

The number of hours a regular staffer puts in varies greatly by which board you’re on and also how great of a commitment you want to make to the newspaper. It’s really all up to you. Hope that helps :)
