Issues as Executive Editor

As Executive Editor of The Defender (2017-2018), I oversaw the entire production of each issue from pitch to print. My work load for each issue included:

  • Creating and updating the staff's calendar 

  • Leading each pitch meeting and highlighting important to stories to cover per issue

  • Organizing a plan of attack on Google Drive (pitches, reporting/editing assignments, individual drafts, visual assignments, design assignments, all revolved around a tight Google Drive system of folders, documents, and sheets)  

  • Compiling a themed section when applicable

  • Assembling the pages into a thoughtful order 

  • Finalizing each page, picking out glaring errors at the last minute, and sending the complete issue to the printer

  • Leading a post-mortem after each issue

  • Leading various workshops with the editorial staff (ex: How-to effectively edit stories for junior reporters)
