Columnists are highly encouraged to meet with editors and workshop their pieces, and are required to attend weekly MiC meetings to build community and keep staff up-to-date on section information. Speedy, reliable communication is crucial. MiC is a community of truth, and we seek to expand the variety and reach of our knowledge. Come join our family!
