Editorial elections, and a new position

Posted at 08:58PM on Mar 23, 2008 by Editors

If you're a Daily contributor, and you're looking to get more involved with the newspaper next year, we've got a job with your name on it. Eighteen jobs, actually. Our editorial board elections happen next week, and we want you to run for a position. Briefly, here's how the election process works:

First, you need to be Daily staff - meaning you must have written six articles, taken six photos, drawn six graphics, written two features, come in for six production nights, or some combination thereof.

Second, you need to email a one-page application to coordinating [at] mcgilldaily.com by 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 28. Tell us about yourself and why you'd be good for the position, and feel free to include samples of your work.

Third, you need to show up at the candidate rundown on Tuesday, April 1 at 7:00 p.m. in Leacock 232. Please note that this is a different time and place than was originally advertised - we had to reschedule.

Fourth, you need to show up at the election on Wednesday, April 2 at 5:00 p.m. in the Daily office (Shatner B-24).

We published a more detailed rundown of how the process works a few weeks back, so check it out to get a clearer picture. Feel free to email me or your section editor with your questions.

And finally, we have an important and exciting announcement. The Daily is adding a second Production & Design editor position, so we're looking for design-oriented folks eager to flex their layout muscles. Prior InDesign and Photoshop experience is a plus, but by no means necessary. Email design [at] mcgilldaily.com for more information.
