Kylie Saba:
Welcome back to the podcast. I'm Kylie Saba and this is State Press Play.
Kylie Saba:
Hi, my name is Kylie Saba and I'm here with Alysa Horton, Alexis Heichman and Morgan Kubasko and these are our State Press leadership. Hi guys!
Alysa Horton:
Hi, how are you?
Alexis Heichman:
Hi!
Morgan Kubasko:
Hello!
Kylie Saba:
So as our state press leadership, what are some of the key responsibilities to running the reporters and editors of The State Press?
Alysa Horton:
My job as the editor-in-chief of the digital department typically means I handle our managing editors, our desk editors, and then any reporters that fall under those desk editors. We have numerous desks. We have the politics desk, the science and technology desk, community and culture desk, the echo desk, and then of course the sports desk. Basically I oversee the content and help with any editorial decisions.
Morgan Kubasko:
Similarly to Alysa, on the multimedia side, as multimedia director, I'm the head of all the multimedia desks. We've got podcast, video-podcast, video, and then visuals, which is our illustration and photo team. So I work with all the desk editors and all the reporters underneath that and get to help edit some of their content and oversee all of the fun stuff that we get to do over here.
Alexis Heichman:
Yeah. And then I'm the executive editor, so I deal mainly with the editorial board and less so with reporters and content creators and stuff like that. And then I also help manage our leadership, but outside of those things, I manage our engagement team. So any diversity initiatives, our engagement and outreach, stuff like that. And our digital producers who help with social media and editing and stuff like that. So it's really cool. Yeah.
