The elected Head of News will work alongside their co-head to plan, present and produce output for the station’s News team.  To date this has consisted of two weekly news shows: Exefocus (local/university news) and Newshour (national/international news), although this can be changed. 

The News team is responsible for representing the station during the sabbatical officer (Guild) elections, which typically includes candidate interviews and a wider scale ‘meet the candidate’ style event. They also cover any other major news stories such as a general election. The heads would also be involved with managing the team’s group chat (if desired) and Instagram page, conducting interviews with current Guild sabbatical officers and supporting the station’s Obit procedure in the case of a death of a senior national figure.

Detail about this election, including role descriptions for each position, can be found in our By-election info pack.
