While we refer to ourselves as Champaign-Urbana’s culture magazine, our Culture section occupies a specific space within that. It attempts to capture the essence of this community that we call home. We write about the people, places, and events that make Champaign-Urbana a pretty awesome place to live.

Writing for Culture offers a great opportunity to get out and talk to people who make things happen in our community, and experience all that C-U has to offer, all while adding your voice to the mix.

If you’ve scrolled through our Culture section, then you’ve seen that it covers a little bit of anything and everything: local businesses, local politics, sports, history, and all sorts of events. Regardless of your interest – or if you’re open to assignments — this could be a place for you.

Interested? Introduce yourself to us through an email to [email protected].
