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)
