The easiest way to get involved is to write a post for Flip the Media. To do so, review our submissions guidelines here. Most contributors are MCDM students, faculty or alumni, but we welcome outside submissions.

MCDM students interested in deeper involvement should consider joining the Flip the Media independent study:

Each quarter, a select group of independent study students run the blog, in cooperation with student editors and faculty advisers. Opportunities include: writing and publishing analysis on contemporary media issues; engaging with emerging entrepreneurs in our region; producing innovative multimedia; mastering web and social media analytics; developing, editing and posting work on WordPress;  website and brand development.

To apply, email Alex Stonehill at: stonehil at u.washington.edu with a paragraph description of your interest and a resume. The course can be taken for one or two credits, or audited.
