The Tiger Newspaper
As the Managing Editor, I worked with section editors to run the newspaper. I created content weekly, worked with writers and helped run staff meetings to produce the best and most accurate content. I negotiated and communicated with our print vendors to decide contract prices, print dates, delivery and other intricate details concerning printing a newspaper.
Another aspect of my job was to manage the layout editors and creative content team to produce a consistent design theme throughout monthly print issues and weekly online editions. With this, I handled the placement and design of ads and the general layout settings for each section. Managing the new creative content team to create more multimedia projects such as videos and podcasts was crucial. This includes scheduling the placements of content online and on all social handles to increase reader engagement.
Having started out as the layout editor for the arts and entertainment section, I have gained experience in writing, designing, and creating with the reader in mind. I have had the chance of showcasing my creativity in many forms, including writing the horoscopes and even creating the award winning comic section. These are the roles and lessons that I have truly gained a new way of thinking and designing.
Lastly, as managing editor, I also led the ad sales team in creating connections to sell ads in the printed issues as well as on our website. This involved working closely with clients to ensure they got a good deal, a great design, and quality placement. As the lead salesperson, current ad sales accounted for 2/3rds of the yearly income for The Tiger.
