The University Times

The masthead of Radius, The University Times's art, culture and societies section, consists of the following positions:

• Radius Editor
• Deputy Radius Editor
• Assistant Radius Editor

Radius was created in order to improve the paper's coverage of society life in Trinity and cultural events in the Dublin area. Since then, it has become a firm fixture in campus and society life. Radius covers all events – society, art, theatre, life and culture – within Trinity and in the city centre, with the aim of being the go-to place to see what’s going on, particularly for students. Radius has a strong focus on upcoming events, rather than only reviewing past events.

Typically, candidates for the positions in this section will have excellent writing skills, and will understand society life in Trinity, while having a strong interest and passion for cultural events, theatre, art and the goings-on in the Dublin area.

Candidates should work very well in a team, and should expect collaboration with a wide variety of journalists, whether they are writers, photographers, or editors.

Candidates should understand that The University Times is an online-first newspaper. Our readership online, often reaching more than 150,000 people each month, has now by an order of magnitude overtaken our readership in print. As such, candidates for these positions should expect to be focusing the output of Radius such that there are weekly roundups, several articles a week, and such that Radius can compete with Dublin-centric publications in its coverage of local events. Candidates should expect very frequent work and interaction with the Editor and Deputy Editor.
