The Chair 

The committee elects a chairperson from the six committee members to represent the committee to Union Council.

A chair must be elected from the committee, and cannot include the Media & Publications Officer. The chair’s role is to set the agenda with the Media officer for each meeting.

Meetings 

The Media Exec meets with the Media Officer once every month to report on media activity from the past month and to plan upcoming events.

This means that the Media Exec allows regular communication between the various branches of UPSU Media, one key benefit being that it ensures ease of coordinating media events.

This also ensures each branch of UPSU Media is working efficiently together, rather than in a less effective autonomous way.

Reporting
