UPDATE: Both positions have now been filled.
The first round of Platform Committee recruitment has finished, but we’re still looking for two Trent students to fill a couple of very important roles: News Editor and Student Welfare Editor.
The News Editor will need to report on breaking news and current affairs relevant to NTU students, as well as articles pertaining to Trent students’ interactions within their local community.
The Student Welfare Editor will take on student health topics, nutrition and how to maintain a healthy diet whilst at uni, personal safety and how to look after yourself – basically any issue relating to students’ welfare.
And what about you? Well, we’re looking for talented, hard-working NTU students with excellent editorial skills (i.e. directing a section of the magazine and website, leading a team of contributors, spelling, grammar, punctuation, keeping contributors in line, sticking to the copy deadline, etc.) who have the commitment and enthusiasm to take Platform forward into another successful year.
Please note that these positions demand responsibility for heading a team of writers to report on the relevant area – editors are not encouraged to write every article in their section, so please don’t apply if you are unwilling to recruit student contributors.
Also keep in mind that while you will be required to submit articles for the website and each issue of the magazine reporting on your subject area, the Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to change the structure of the magazine and website at any time, and may group areas together as they see fit to best relate Platform to a student audience.
