GOSS: Here Are Your 2020 Pulp Editors & An Exciting Announcement
By Pulp Goss
It’s been a fun year, but the time is fast approaching for the current editors of your favourite Corporate Campus Rag to hand it over to the next generation of Pulp editors.
But First, an Exciting New Development
Pulp will have not three, but four editors in 2020. The fourth editor will be multilingual, able to write and edit in Chinese languages as well as English. This editor isn’t decided yet: interested students can expect applications to open very soon. The fourth editor will be responsible for specifically writing, sourcing and translating content in Chinese languages and English.
The USU WeChat will soon primarily be used for marketing, with Pulp expanding to contain the content previously covered in both. With this change, a new (paid) graduate intern role in the Sales and Marketing department has been created: that intern will also be multilingual, and will be responsible for the running of the WeChat account.
Girl Power
Nicolette Petra, Ellie Stephenson and Jossie Warnant will be your Pulp editors in 2020. All three have experience writing extensively for campus media, with Ellie and Nicolette as regular contributors to Pulp in 2019.
As a current member of Grassroots and former board candidate, Ellie Stephenson brings a wealth of knowledge relating to student politics and campus culture. Stephenson tells us she’s very excited to step into the role, and that she’s “looking forward to writing and editing lots of fun content next year and hopefully living up to the amazing job this year’s editorial team have done!” Stop it! We’re blushing.
Nicolette Petra has covered ground on pop culture and student wellbeing this year for Pulp, and is “honoured to have been entrusted with the role of editor and I'm really excited to be part of the team for 2020. I'm eager to get to work with Ellie and Josie, and see our vision for Pulp Media come to life over the next year.”
Jossie, who has previously written across a diverse range of topics for Honi, is “so excited to join the Pulp team and am looking forward to continuing the work of the publication in 2020.”
The USU seem to be sticking with the (winning) formula of 2019 as they expand the publication into new, multi-lingual territory: covering the Pulp bases of campus culture and stupol, politics and pop culture. We’re not complaining! Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.
The 2019 editors will wrap up their terms at the end of November, with the new crop of editors set to start in February.
