Why get involved with Pugwash magazine?

Helping out with Pugwash not only creates a magazine that truly reflects the views of students at the University of Portsmouth - it develops everyone involved too.

You don't have to be an editor to benefit; everyone will receive feedback or training on some level. Editors naturally need an overview of how the whole thing is put together, so they receive specific training sessions on Quark Xpress and Photoshop to produce layouts. Writers will benefit from receiving feedback on their style and content. Designers will be exposed to industry practices that will see their ideas come to life on glossy pages.

The secret is simple: getting involved. Ambitions can easily remain unresolved if they remain just ambitions; it is much better to get your hands dirty and see if something suits you while still a student – and you future bosses realise this too. Many of our former contributors have scooped enviable jobs in an industry that is very difficult to get into.

To get involved with Pugwash, contact the Union's Media & Publications Officer at mediaofficer@upsu.net and they will tell you everything you need to know.
