Searching for a managing editor

by M. Stewart
Eastern Flash faculty adviser

Melody Gustafson, the long-time managing editor of Eastern Flash, has moved on to the Kent campus. We at the East Liverpool and Salem campuses appreciate the hard work and dedication Melody displayed in her role as Flash editor and chief writer.

In the meantime, Eastern Flash is without a managing editor, and as yet no one has stepped forward to take Melody's place. We will resume publication when the position is filled.

The job requires a background in journalistic writing and editing and/or a willingness to learn. The successful candidate must be well organized, able to manage other writers and photographers, and willing to gather news from both the Salem and East Liverpool campuses.

For the most part, Eastern Flash is a chance to learn--an internship, if you will; however, the managing editor position comes with a small stipend of approximately $125 per month. Any Kent State East Liverpool or Salem student interested in the position should contact me at mrstewar@kent.edu.
