Act as an essential liaison between potential contributors and the Content Editor
Be a facilitator, empowering students to find their voice and express it, and guiding contributors to publish work they are proud of

All portfolios are open and seeking submissions. Applicants will be asked which sections they would be interested in Sub-Editing and why, but should note that they are not guaranteed one of these portfolios.
Culture and Lifestyle
The Culture and Lifestyle Sub-Editor will be responsible for sourcing pieces that inject life into the everyday, around campus, Canberra, Australia and abroad. They will write, source and critically dissect specific culturural and artistic events, past, present and future culture zeitgeists in Canberra, Australia and abroad. Part of this portfolio covers Campus culture– articles relating to the campus experience: sex, love, friendship, health, jobs, trends, sport, clubs, societies and exciting student innovation occurring at ANU. They should have their finger on the pulse of university living and look to deliver fresh and creative content about real issues.
Creative
The Creative Sub-Editor will be responsible for sourcing a variety of creative pieces including short fiction, poetry, prose, photo essays, and other non-traditional mediums. The Creative Sub-Editor should have a love of literature and poetry, competency for editing a broad range of creative works and a keen interest in helping contributors to polish their content, which is often personal and deeply passionate. A key focus for the portfolio will be engaging and collaborating with multimedia creators, and encouraging the use of experimental modes and styles, such as: comics, how to guides and collages
Science and Research
The Science and Research Sub-Editor will be responsible for sourcing work that is related to topics such as science, technology, innovation, academia and the environment. There is a wide scope here to grow the portfolio into a science communication-adjacent form, with a focus on up-and-coming research within science (as well as tech, data, ethics, and the related social and policy implications). The Sub-Editor is expected to commission interested members of the wider ANU student body and researchers to submit pieces. The ideal candidate will be an effective communicator, able to distil complex information and ideas into accessible and easily understood forms. They will be highly knowledgeable about the different fields and debates within science and related spheres.
Features
The Features Sub-Editor will be tasked with sourcing articles that question, explore, and offer interesting insights into contemporary happenings. Articles will need to reflect the diverse opinions and ideas of ANU students, with a focus on engaging international and multilingual students. A discerning eye is required to distinguish between the offensive and the insightful. Articles should be engaging and relevant to the student body and current affairs.
Think features published in Vox, the Atlantic, or Overland and Voiceworks. There is scope to expand the portfolio to provide a platform for students to communicate their research and case-study findings, whether from honours, postgraduate, or individual research-based classes. There is no shortage of this work happening around the ANU, so this role will require the Sub-Editor to tap in and encourage students to share.
ONLINE SUB-EDITORS
Columnist (x2)
The Online Columnists will be required to produce interesting, relevant content for the website, of approximately 500-800 words at least four times per semester. This position is ideal for regular contributors of Woroni. While Columnists are not limited by any one topic, applicants will need to be aware of campus happenings and student discussions, and have strong opinions that they’re not afraid to share. Quick-thinking and creativity is needed for the sections that cover a lot of ground.
Reviews
The Reviews Sub-Editor will attend events and write reviews on plays, exhibitions, performances, talks, gigs, shows, restaurants, film screenings, festivals and any event or experience around ANU and Canberra. This includes seasonal themed pieces and recommendations for new Canberra residents. The Reviews Sub-Editor will also source relevant reviews from students and organise free tickets and media passes. They should help maintain strong relationships with Woroni’s contacts in the Canberra’s culture scene.
Satire
When employed well, satire and humour can be used to grapple with reality, punch up at higher powers and engage readers with challenging ideas. The Satire Sub-Editor should write at least 4 articles per semester that brings a satirical edge to current issues and events – light-hearted content that is comical and relevant to the student body. Applicants will need to have an eye for the ironic, a keen sense of wit and the ability to write several pieces for both online and print publication often with strict time frames, and occasionally source externally. An ideal candidate will be able to work smoothly with contributors to polish submissions and be comfortable with varying forms of satire.
Applications will close 5pm Friday 25th November 2022.
Interviews will be conducted on a rolling basis between 20-29 November 2022. The role will commence immediately with mandatory training on Friday the 2nd of December.

Candidates for Content Editor
1. Indy Shead
After pioneering the new Multimedia and Multilingual portfolio in 2021, sourcing, editing and writing articles for five editions, prioritising diversity of voices and forms, I’m confident in my ability to expand the Content portfolio.
My vision for the content portfolio going forward has two key facets. Firstly, to increase the physical presence on campus, by engaging and encouraging students in-person and through literary clubs and societies. Additionally, running in person events to upskill and engage student writers through writing, editing and copywriting workshops, allowing people to experiment and gain confidence in a variety of styles. Further emphasising that Woroni is a place for writers to grow, experiment and refine their skills.
This feeds into my second aim, to create a larger diversity of student voices, experiences and mediums published. Sub-Editors will receive greater training and awareness, working in consultation with ANUSA Departments and organisations to create informed and relevant prompts, uplifting writers from minority backgrounds and intersectional experiences. This will focus on illuminating the often neglected voices of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled and international students, creating holistic and representational content. With a focus on online content, especially promoting multimedia pieces, serials, and activities, the engagement and diversity of voices will increase.
2. Amir Alikhani
My name is Amir Alikhani, and I would love to work as Woroni’s Content Editor! I have always had a passion for journalism, and it is hopefully something I would like to pursue professionally in the future. As a student, I think news and media is critical in exploring our interests and sharing it with the broader community. That is the biggest reason why I’d like to be Woroni Content Editor, because I would be able to use my platform to encourage creativity, sharing ideas and writing that is meaningful to all of us as an ANU community.
At the very least, I would like to be able to promote student media and journalism and work alongside other talented writers, artists, photographers and reporters in order to put together a publication that can make anybody feel welcomed and have their voices heard.
3. Luca Ittimani
In the middle of 2022, I found myself aimless and distraught. There’s a malaise that strikes every PPE student after they do Microeconomics 2. In every essay I wrote, my creative spark was drowned out by regurgitations of other, smarter authors. My only escape, an Instagram fanpage to Anthony Albanese, had run out of steam after the federal election.
And yet a light shone through, a rescue from this boggy creative wasteland: ‘JOIN WORONI,’ came the call. ‘BECOME OUR SATIRE SUB-EDITOR’. I heard and heeded, and at the start of this semester, I went behind the curtain. I’ve loved it here. You create, you work with creative, hardworking, quick-thinking people, and you encourage people around you to express themselves.
Now I want you to join me. Everyone can write for the mag, but so few do. The challenge for the Content Editor is to get more people writing for the mag. I’ve seen the team struggle with that this semester. As editor, I’ll push to get more students of more backgrounds, telling whatever story they want, however they want to tell it. I’ll hold tight the hand of the student body, caress its forehead, and together we can bring a billion article babies into the world and onto Woroni’s pages.
Candidates for Television Editor
1. Zoe Crowston
I’ve been with Woroni for almost 18 months now and have had an absolute blast. I’m so glad I found my place in the TV Team and want to give others the opportunity to have the same positive experiences that I did! This is why I want to apply for the role of TV Editor.
Since starting in 2021 as a TV Production Assistant, I’ve been involved in a wide range of projects including a stop-motion about lockdown, a federal election info-guide, a documentary feature on the ANU Solar Car Team and more. I’ve really enjoyed taking on more responsibility as Executive TV Producer this semester and would love to draw on this experience to continue supporting my teammates next year.
As TV Editor, I aim to foster a positive working environment where team members feel included, motivated and equipped with the necessary tools and skills to bring their ideas to life. I’d also be keen to introduce more social events for the TV team to build on an already strong sense of community.
Finally, I am motivated to keep improving on Woroni TV’s positive contribution to student life- reporting on campus news, amplifying student voices and providing top-quality entertainment.
2. Virginia Plas
I’ve been a part of Woroni TV for two years, as a production assistant, producer, and executive producer. This has taught me a lot about how to make videos for an ANU audience, how the TV team functions, and the kind of support each team member needs. The best thing about working for Woroni is being part of its vibrant community, and encouraging a sense of camaraderie within the TV portfolio is something I’m very passionate about.
As Television Editor, I would lean into Woroni’s function as a creative and journalistic training facility. There is a lot we can learn from each other within student media, and I’d encourage intra- and inter-portfolio collaboration: sharing skills within TV, learning storytelling and technical skills from other portfolios. I would also explore how we can further engage with the broader ANU community and consider diversifying our video formats.
Leadership experiences in Woroni and beyond have taught me robust communication, planning, and production skills, but the most important thing I’ve learnt from student media is how talented and enthusiastic the people who get involved are. Above all else, I’m committed to supporting the TV portfolio to continue the wonderful work they are already doing.
Candidates for Managing Editor (Uncontested)
Matthew Box
I took over the position of Managing Editor of Woroni at the start of Semester 2 this year and have learnt a lot during my time in the position. Managing Editor is a varied role that spans financial management, strategic planning and guiding and assisting other Board members – so it was a challenging role to come into for 1 semester.
I have worked closely with the whole Board of Editors across different portfolios and would love the chance to continue as Managing Editor for another year. During my time as Managing Editor I have focused on continuing the projects set up by previous Manging Editors, working jointly with other student organisations on SSAF funding and updating the Association’s financial policies and processes for the future. There is still a lot more work to be done on these projects and if elected I am excited to continue this work.
I hope to continue to support the work of all Woroni’s teams, contributors, sub-editors and editors by using my knowledge of the role and the organisation effectively throughout 2023.
Candidates for Art Editor (Uncontested)
Jasmin Small
My name is Jasmin Small (u7481548), and I’m a first-year undergraduate running for the position of Art Editor. I’m currently a senior artist on the art team and have been with Woroni since the beginning of the year. I would love to be more involved with the artistic direction of the magazine as I find it super inspiring what our wonderful team can do! I’m also keen on overseeing the production of consistently high-quality content to represent Student Media to the wider population. In my opinion, the relationship between Woroni and the ANU more broadly is key to fostering a prosperous environment for creativity and analytical discussion. It would be my honour to oversee the art team’s part in this.
