Ideally, this candidate has a pulse on current issues that impact college-aged women and possesses the ability to translate them into engaging feature packages.

Responsibilities include:
Overseeing the features department
Planning, coordinate and oversee all general-news and lifestyle pieces
Writing stories, sidebars and captions for packages as needed
Recruiting and retaining freelance contributors
Coordinating the work of many reporters at one time
