The Linewaiters’ Gazette is the heartbeat of our community.
COVID necessitated a transition to a purely online format for the decades-old institution. Now as we emerge from the pandemic stronger than ever, the store is feeling more and more sterile and members are interested in bringing back the energy and livelihood of a print edition.
At the December GM, members voted to create a year-long committee dedicated to researching and understanding opportunities to fit a physical newspaper into the evolved workflows of our changing Coop.
*We are seeking up to five members to join the team.*
All are welcome to apply—we’re specifically interested in meeting members who might have some of the following skills:
- Deep knowledge of desktop publishing tools like Adobe InDesign.
- Experience with print publication production.
- Experience working on self-directed projects.
- Experience with qualitative research projects.
Most of all, we are looking for empathy, energy and curiosity. The work will be mostly self-directed and will fill the two hours and forty-five minutes for each shift rotation. Workslot credit will be provided.
To apply, please email alex@alexgodin.com with any relevant experience and the words “Coop committee application” in the subject line.
