 Writing and non-writing departments are each headed by an editor and are overseen by the editor-in-chief.

The business department is headed by the publisher, and it has several sub-departments, each headed by a director.
-First-time writers at Columbia begin their time at the paper with a 1- to 2-month training period, during which they learn the basics of writing an article and publish their first articles.

They begin by "shadowing," or sitting with the current editors or associate editors and learning the editing process. Next, they write proposals for their desired position. The students then take an editing test made up by their department editor that tests them on the fundamentals of editing.  Finally, they go through the "[[:w:Turkey Shoot|Turkey Shoot]]," an interview in which the current managing board grills the applicant on why he feels he would be a good fit for the position.  The results of the application process, including the new managing board are announced in mid-December, the weekend before finals.

 Previously printed in tabloid format, in September [[2004]] the ''Spec'' started printing in broadsheet form. The editors at the time somehow thought they deserved to "move up" in the newspaper world, taking their place next to slightly more distinguished papers like the ''[[New York Times]]''. This move was distinctly against the grain; a large and increasing number of newspapers around the world are moving or have already moved to tabloid format, which is more popular especially with readers in cities.
-Some students at Columbia agree that broadsheet newspapers are inconvenient and would like to see Spec return to tabloid format. Tabloid sized papers are conveniently hidden in notebooks if you're inclined to read in class. Other students believe that broadsheet format adds a dab of prestige to the ''Spec'' brand and allows it to stand up to its [[Ivy League]] peers.

 ====The Eye====
 In September [[2006]], ''Spectator'' staff launched ''[[The Eye]]'', a weekly magazine featuring investigative pieces and commentary on Columbia and [[NYC]]. The goal of starting The Eye was to provide a platform much of the feature writing that [[Speccie]]s did for [[The Blue and White]] in addition to topics that had no previous coverage. The name of ''The Eye'' relates both to the fact that one "spectates" with it and urban theorist Jane Jacobs' notion that "eyes on the street" help keep neighborhoods safe.
