Head Of Presentation
In the role, Hance has introduced a feedback sheet which is given to Producers/Editors for every show they submit for approval. These sheets give praise for what works well and suggestions for improvements, either immediate or in the next edition.
He also led the editing team for NaSTA 2019, which led to YSTV winning Best Broadcaster that year.
He is also working in maximising the use of the wall behind the edit PCs. Info sheets are currently (as of October 2018) being drafted up for guiding editors if they get stuck.
Apart from learning more post-production skills, Hance is also focussing on developing idents to play before each programme.
Secretary
In Sam's time in the post he has worked on making it an efficient role, helping all of the members with various admin-related activities. This includes a quick response for email management, engagement with YUSU, and the minutes.
Minutes from meetings have been made more accessible with the implementation of a folder in the Team Drive. Like certain colleagues' emails, Sam has started putting the Logo on the header too, making it useful for identification when printed. Kind praise has been given for the minuting of major meetings that had a long runtime. Many a member has been surprised to find the whole discussion written down, even from an online call based meeting.
