A section Editor works with the Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor to decide on the creative direction of their section.

They come up with ideas and submit articles.

They manage a team of contributors and ensure that content is submitted on time.

They are also responsible for the design of their page/s. All editors are trained to use Adobe InDesign.
