The Visuals Editor:

• Works with section editors and writers to direct the visual content of The S&B, including photos, graphics and illustrations

• Coordinates with staff photographers and the graphics designer to produce visuals for articles 

• Edits all visuals (photos, graphics, comics, illustrations) to ensure optimization for the website editions of the paper as well as social media.

We are looking to hire a student with good visual instincts, experience using editing software (ideally Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop), technical knowledge of photography and strong leadership skills. Familiarity with The S&B’s content is recommended. 

The Visuals Editor is expected to work approximately 8 hours a week.

The student is responsible for performing routine technical tasks under minimal supervision while exercising moderate levels of independent judgment and initiative. Requires a high degree of discretion with confidential information. Students should possess software and computer knowledge, previous technology experience and excellent communication skills.
