Comments Off on Woroni is Hiring for Semester 2 2024
Woroni is hiring for Semester 2 2024! Positions are available across our Content, Art, News, Radio, TV, and Communications portfolios.
At Woroni we are committed to:
producing interesting, entertaining, informative and regular content across our print, multimedia, radio and online media platforms;
contributing to a sense of university identity and reflecting the scholarly and cultural diversity of the ANU community;
promoting open public dialogue and debate in the ANU community;
promoting awareness of the variety of curricular and extra-curricular activities undertaken by students at ANU;
discovering and developing the creative talents of students at ANU in journalism and the media arts;
promoting the best practice in professional journalism; and
being innovative and exploring new media forms.
A great student media organisation is for everyone. Student media should promote conversations, and provide a platform for people with different views, identities and lived experiences. Our ultimate aim is to build a culture of inclusivity and diversity across our platforms. A large portion of ANU’s students relocate to Canberra to study, which means our community is extremely diverse. Woroni is funded by, created by and consumed by ANU students, and our mission is to produce print, radio and television content that truly reflects this community.
Woroni is committed to diversity in hiring and encourages applications from ANU students of all backgrounds. These are volunteer positions, however individuals may receive an honorarium based on their commitment to the role. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact woronieic@gmail.com. If you would like to contribute to our mission, see below for how you can get involved with student media!
Applications will close at midnight on Sunday the 28th of July 2024. Interviews may be conducted at any time throughout or after the application period.
CONTENT
The Content Team oversees sourcing, editing and production of written content for our magazines and website. It’s a fantastic opportunity to work in print production, understanding the editing and sourcing process, or to get your hands dirty writing creative stories, poems or insightful essays. Generally, the team is split into print and online — though working in one doesn’t prevent you from dabbling in the other.
Print:
Print sub-editors focus on the magazine. They work to produce six every year, each with their own distinct theme. They source and edit student contributions, as well as publishing pieces of their own. Best suited for somebody who is interested in print production and editing.
Online:
Online sub-editors create content for the website. We are primarily looking for reviewers and columnists. Reviewers are supported by Woroni to review the latest films, novels and whichever other media interests you, producing semi-regular content for the website. Columnists will semi-regularly contribute opinion pieces, cultural comment and analytical work for the website. Best suited with somebody who wants to write regularly and has a lot to say.
Senior Sub-Editors:
Senior sub-editors oversee the work of sub-editors. Mentoring, copy editing and taking on more challenging pieces.
Apply to join the Content Team here.
ART
The Woroni Art team has many exciting opportunities available for ANU students interested in all aspects of art and graphic design. We encourage absolute creative freedom in your artistry. Becoming a part of the team is a great way for you to get experience in having your work published (and looks great on any resume or in any portfolio). It can also help with giving you as an artist an extra boost in confidence in your own skills and ability by providing you with a platform to show off your skills. The actual workload is bent to accommodate each individual’s other commitments.
Artists are responsible for creating consistently high quality art for Woroni and must be able to stick to strict deadlines. Usually, this is three to six pieces of art per print cycle, to be published either online or in print. Additionally, the work requires proficiency in producing art of specific structural qualities (PPI, sizing, CMYK colour palette etc.). Artists must be responsive to the Art Editor and are expected to attend meetings, Woroni events and social activities. Artists are also expected to contribute to the marketing and promoting of content. Some experience in producing art and/or designs under instruction is preferred but not required. Ideally, Artists would work well within a team, are approachable, and want to bring their own ideas to the team!

The nominees for each position and their bios are listed here:
Candidates for Deputy Editor-in-Chief
1. Sarah Greaves
The one and a half years I have been at Woroni is one of the best ways I have spent my time at university. This semester I rejoined the Content Team as a Senior Sub-Editor after spending last year away on exchange. I have really enjoyed being back on the team and using my past experiences at Woroni to contribute towards the role.
I am incredibly passionate about student journalism and as such would thrive in the role of Deputy Editor in Chief. This is a role that often flies under the radar within the organisation completing behind the scenes roles that can easily go unnoticed. As someone who is highly motivated and enjoys challenging work where the outcomes might not be immediately obvious, I am well-suited to such a position. In my vision for the role I would continue in this tradition, equipped with my long-term knowledge of Woroni both as a writer and sub-editor to assist the Editor in Chief.
Woroni is an integral part of my university experience and I hope through my commitment to the role I can ensure the organisation continues to operate as a platform for all student voices at the ANU.
2. Joseph Mann
In line with Section 9.2 b) of the ANUSM Electoral Regulations, the ANUSM Board would like to disclose the following Conflicts of Interest for Joseph Mann: Member of the ACT Labor Party; Vice President of the Canberra North Branch.
My name is Joseph and I’m a double Arts-Law student and lifelong Canberran. In my Arts degree, I majored in Political Science and History. In my law program, I am focusing on public law.
Why should you vote for me?
I AM EXPERIENCED: I have served as a secretary to many other voluntary organisations on campus and in the region. In my time as a news reporter at Woroni, I have written on subjects as diverse as corporate insolvency, the housing crisis, Canberra lore, bizarre res-hall drama, and ANU stupol (of course).
I AM A TRUSTED STUDENT VOICE: Since August 2023, I have been a News Reporter in the Woroni News team, but you might know me better as one of ANU Confessions‘ most prolific “chronic commenters”, the annoying guy in the LAWS22xx group chat, or as ANU’s resident Twitter addict.
I WILL RESTORE CONFIDENCE IN SSAF: I will work closely with the ANUSM Executive to ensure that Woroni is as forthcoming, open and transparent with how we spend your SSAF money as we can be: setting a strong example for the other SSAF-funded bodies on campus.
YOU’RE A GOOD [BOY/GIRL/FRIEND]: You know you want to vote for me
Candidates for Radio Editor
1. Cate Armstrong
Having worked on the Woroni radio team for the past couple of years I have a strong passion for Woroni, the radio and all we do. In its broadest sense, I believe the ability to offer students the experience to have their voice heard, explore a new creative avenue, and expand their confidence through a radio show, is incredible rewarding, and is a unique experience that can be offered at university. I am passionate about working with the Woroni radio team, facilitating group discussion, ideas and succeeding in completing successful outputs that members of the team can feel proud of.
Having been an Executive Producer for the past two semesters I understand what it is like to lead a team within the radio and am eager to expand this knowledge to the position of editor. Whilst I understand the role of Editor and EP are inherently different, regarding roles and responsibilities, I am curious and eager to learn what it is like to be in an editorial position. I am excited at the prospect of learning the roles and responsibility of board members – and would be enthusiastic to contribute and work as part of the wider Woroni team. I believe my passion for Woroni, and radio specifically make me well suited to this role.
2. Cameron Upton
I have always had a passion for radio. Both my father and grandfather were involved with community radio stations, and I have been fascinated by their work. I have also had the privilege of hosting my own show on Woroni Radio, which has been a fantastic experience. However, while Woroni Radio is in a good state currently, I believe that it can go even further beyond to become a core asset of Woroni as a media organisation, and help to represent the vast cohort we have at ANU. As such, I am nominating to become Woroni’s Radio Editor to take the torch of those before me, and striving to achieve my vision for what a student radio can be. If I am elected, I will endeavour to get a wider variety of shows on air, involving students more in what we do and how we do it, and attempting to implement Woroni Radio within student life. With the talented team we already possess in Woroni Radio, I believe the foundations to achieve this are already there. And if I am elected to the helm, I believe the future will only be up for Woroni Radio.
Candidates for News Editor
1. Raida Chowdhury
Woroni News has been a defining and enriching part of my university life. I have already been the news editor over the past semester, and I would like to continue working to ensure that this portfolio produces efficient, informative and engaging content.
The news portfolio has incredible potential, and this potential can be reached by diversifying and deepening our coverage. This includes greater engagement with the student body, especially students from marginalised backgrounds, coverage which critically holds various institutions at the ANU accountable, and finally coverage that is willing to challenge its readers.
In addition, I would work with our news columnists to produce informative and sophisticated analyses and editorial style content. This, I believe, will be especially important for the upcoming ANUSA election season.
After being on the news team for three semesters now, I have come to appreciate the immense labours of love that goes into every single article produced by the news team. I have so much respect for all the news sub-editors, and I am very proud of what the team has achieved so far. I would be incredibly honoured to serve as their editor again.
2. Joseph Mann
In line with Section 9.2 b) of the ANUSM Electoral Regulations, the ANUSM Board would like to disclose the following Conflicts of Interest for Joseph Mann: Member of the ACT Labor Party; Vice President of the Canberra North Branch.
