Media Development

Do you like to write?

What if we had a media page to showcase:

• Media / Content Writing Ability

We could have a student to fill these roles, such as:

• Writer / Journalist
  • Find Content
  • Write Content/Articles
• Copyeditor
  • Adjust articles
  • Design Layout Management
  • Publish

Why

• Boosted engagement through regular content

  • Ads can raise money for events
• Keep members Informed, Entertained, Connected
• New Roles will help students develop skill and expand their portfolio

We might need:

Host writing workshops or webinars on writing and editing (By members or guest speaker) (Podcast style Chat + Q&A )

Before reaching out to someone
