My name is Bridget Ameche and I am an editor, along with Patrick Beane, for the IDS Weekend section. Weekend is the pop culture section of the IDS and currently we are looking for a film columnist. It would require a short column (350-400 words) every other week. If you could forward this on to your CMCL students, we would really appreciate it.
In addition, if anyone is interested in writing reviews for Weekend, they can email us as well and we can inform them of the proper steps to take.
Any students are welcome to email weekend@idsnews.com if they are interested. (See below for the application!)
Best,
Bridget Ameche
