The team

The team is divided into three categories: Editors, Writers and Illustrators. 


Take the commitment to review the incoming articles for their section, as well as to find people (not necessarily among writers) to contribute and to brainstorm topics.

People: Freude, Benedikt Letso



Take the commitment to regularly write for the newspaper and come to decisional meetings. A sufficiently big pool of writers will be established to have at least one article/section in each issue.

Description: The Student Newspaper is open to all types of articles coming from the Jacobs Community members.

Ideally, the articles should be about something related to Jacobs that one cannot find somewhere else (e.g. official newsletters). Hence, preference will be given to this type of articles.

After submission, the Editorial Team will decide on whether to send back the article for significant changes or to slightly edit the content.
