Nearly two years
ago, I visited Strathclyde on an open day to see the campus and discover the
Uni. I’d come to listen to a
presentation about why I should take journalism and study here. But on my visit I was only interested in
finding out if the Uni had a student newspaper.
When I picked up the Strathclyde Telegraph for the first time that day I
knew this was the opportunity I’d been looking for: to write and work with
like-minded people and help produce Strathclyde’s fantastic student paper.
I never hesitated
in signing up on Fresher's Week and since then throughout the year I’ve written countless articles
for the Telegraph covering news, features, music and arts.
But writing for
features has always been my favourite.
This is because I’m passionate about writing. I’ve got my own style and would look forward
to bringing this to the features section.
I also think I’d
make a great features editor because I know the student audience: I know what it
means to be a student and I’ve always tried to write articles that students can
enjoy and relate to. For example, in
the current issue I have an article published about student finance.
If I’m elected
features editor I’ll continue to make sure that the section is fresh, varied
and enjoyed by all students. Some ideas
I have include a specialist section covering current affairs or politics or
maybe even a section on science and technology which would appeal to even more
people.
This year I’ve
learned so much. And I really love
Strathclyde Uni. Writing for the
Telegraph has been an absolute highlight and I would feel privileged to start
the next year as your features editor.
My favourite
writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald, once said that “action is character”. I’ll always take the right action to ensure
the Strathclyde Telegraph remains exciting, respected and always the best.
