Job descriptions

News:

News reporters are responsible for sourcing, researching and writing news stories, scouring the university and the town for the issues that matter. It’s a unique chance to discover the inner workings of Oxford life. This term Cherwell broke the news that:

- OUSU doesn't pay its cleaners the living wage

- Two St Hugh's freshers had blacked up to a bop

- Illegal immigrants had been arrested at the Alternative Tuck Shop

Comment:

The Comment section has a well respected tradition of printing cutting-edge opinion pieces from students on a range of Oxford and national issues. Our best debates and opinion pieces are read around the university and online, regularly attracting several thousand hits.

Joining the Comment team also allows you to interview the great and the good of national and world politics. This year Cherwell Comment interviewed George Galloway, Peter Mandelson and Nancy Pelosi - to name but a few.

If you’re passionate about a subject and want to share your views and spark debate, join us.

Lifestyle:

The Lifestyle section is famed for Fit College, one of Oxford’s more superficial institutions. There’s space for pretty much anything as long as it’s entertaining and thought provoking. Sharp features and interviews are our forte. See our recent interview with the Ann Summers CEO Jacqueline Gold, for instance.

Culture:

Culture is one of our largest sections, with pages dedicated to Film, Stage, Music and Arts and Books. We’re one of the first ports of call for reviews of all the student plays, as well as all the other cultural delights that Oxford offers.

You'll be able to meet national culture icons too. This term Cherwell Culture interviewed Philip Pullman, Hilary Mantel, Rowan Williams and Michael Morpurgo.

If you'd like to edit the whole Culture section, fill in the Section Editor form. If you'd like to be in charge of one of the individual Film, Stage, Music or Arts and Books pages, please fill in the Deputy Section Editor form. If you would just like to contribute to Culture occasionally, there's no need to fill in a form - please just email culture@cherwell.org expressing your interest. 

Fashion:

Fancy being the next Anna Wintour? Cherwell Fashion is the place to start. See some of our recent shoots here. If you've got opinions on fashion and fancy being the next Sartorialist you can also write for the section too.

Sport:

We report on many major sporting occasions in Oxford - whether your interest is rugby, swimming or lacrosse, there are opportunities for objective analysis of the big games, or not-so-objective match reports from those involved in college matches.

CherwellTV:

You'll have seen Shark Tales, but did you know that CherwellTV is the largest student broadcast operation in Oxford, producing several videos a week across News, Lifestyle and Culture?

If you have experience in production and editing, or are just keen to learn, then apply to the broadcast team.

Business Team:

Want to deal with Ernst and Young and Deutsche Bank on a professional basis? Run Cherwell's marketing strategy, do circulation analysis and gain actual business experience? Being part of Cherwell Business is not an easy job, but it gives you the skills that look good on any CV. We'll train you on all relevant parts of the business and teach you to raise £10,000 independently. Come manage the famous business at 7 St Aldate's! Email md@ospl.org to express interest.

We need a new team to take the lead in web development, server management and database design.
