THE GRYPHON
Editor-in-Chief 24'-25'
​

My current role is as The Gryphon's Editor-in-Chief. Responsible for roles such as:

​

• Editing, producing, and distributing our monthly print edition.

• Creating and updating style guides, media packs, e.t.c

• Regulating our online posts, and ensuring that our sub-section editors are abiding by editorial rules and regulations.

• Financing and organising funding / sponsorship.

• Managing an editorial team of nearly 50 sub section editors.

​

With my first semester in the job concluded, I have made several notable achievements running the publication:

​

• Almost tripling the publication's size. With nearly 50 editors (up from a previous 23), 350 writers, and 200 official paying members.

• Regaining our financial control, raising over £4000 in funds, and recovering us from quadruple figures of debt.

• Bringing colour and life back to our pages, in order to further engage the student body, including the creation and introduction of 'section logos' and themes.

• Introducing regular monthly 'columns' to our print edition, including award-winning 'The Girls Got Guts.' 

• Holding a sold-out launch event for the October Edition of our print, complete with an awards event, including open-mic, celebrating the talent of our writers beyond the pen.

• Creating a community like never before, making our office a safe, welcoming, and inclusive 'cosy' space for all. 

​

Over the next five months, I will be:

• Holding industry talks with external members of the media, including holding a session for those that do not speak English as a first language.

• Re-organising the way in which our editorial team approaches articles, introducing Google 'tracked changes' and holding editorial processes to higher standards.

• Expanding the newspaper off-campus, into local cafe's, shops, and bars.

• Preparing the necessary editorial and contributor guides, to ensure that those following my time as E.I.C feel prepared and supported for years to come.

​

​Before my role as Editor-in-Chief, I had contributed to The Gryphon for the previous 3 years, holding the role of Arts and Culture Editor.
