Salient

Jackson Wood would like to point out that he is not in fact the Boogy Monster. He is actually the Man in the Moon. He will however still eat you. NOM NOM NOM

Don’t write for this guy, he lures children into his gingerbread house with promises of jokes and boiled sweeties.

There will (hopefully) be a cohesive flow between all of the arts. We would also have a continuity of quality within the section and organisation of volunteers would be easier.

Its been suggested, but its a good idea and people have started applying for the position already.

I heartily endorse this new editor chappie. He seems like a thoroughly good sort wot wot.

Very true t-bone.
Salient has had a frugal year so we may not have to cut the budget. I intend to try and have feature writers on the full 10 hours per week and over the holidays. Also there may not be three writers (who are as awesome as Tania and Jenna) in which case we’ll try and operate on two. Who knows. I don’t.

But I didn’t want to get peoples’ hopes up if they came in relying on the job and then discovered that it would be less.

(I also just made these today (in consultation with T-Dawg) so that they could go into the mag. They’re supposed to be more of an outline to solicit interest than an actual job description.)

Fuck yeah! We’ll take anything… Salient is the voice of students anyone can submit stuff. It would be acer if it was at least semi regularly but we could work something out!

Bring back Steve Nicoll

Well done Jackson Gibbo wishes you best of luck

Having one Arts editor could work, you would just need someone committed and keen which I am sure there will be plenty of people and also they will probably pick the images that go into that section with the editor and designer… Key would be just getting the volunteer writers along to the gigs, films and events etc…

Visual Arts is tricky area due to there being less writers also they might find plenty of Visual Arts writers up at the Art History department (I know that they have some writers who do the Adam Art Gallery blurbs) also chat to Ron at White Fungus magazine as he will know people who want to write, for the galleries pretty much they will need to just spend a day going around to the galleries/ringing them and emailing them and getting onto their invite lists. Ditto for books (Unity and Dymocks are the two main ones for their book launches where the author will be also).

Music and Film are easy as everyone likes free gigs and movies… Theatre is trickier as you need to be aware of the local scene the other Jackson or Eleanor, and if they stick with computer games they might want to try to get freebies from Gamesman and EB Games etc…

Pretty much everything else takes care of itself in the usual organic manner depending on the writers you get and content…

Eleanor: I suspect J. Wood’s cunning plan is to have a single Arts Editor who oversees all the other reviewers. There’d still be just as many writers in as many fields, but there’d be one person who’s charged with liaising with Jackson about content and making sure everyone’s got their submissions in on time. It makes sense to me, anyway.
