Head Of Presentation

One of the first things Sam did was introduce feedback sheets to give to Producers/Editors after reviewing their programme. They offer suggestions on improvements for that or future works and crucially positives in the programme. He also developed posters for the edit wall to give editors guidance if they get stuck and have nobody around to ask for help. Organising the entries for NaSTA 2019 was arguably the largest task Sam undertook. From organising what was being submitted to who was doing editing what; work started in the winter of 2018. Alongside Matthew Zeffertt and Thomas Schubert, he edited the winning Best Broadcaster entry as well as developing the graphics for it.

Secretary

For most of Sam's YSTV journey he was the Secretary. He did everything you'd expect and got an updated risk assessment ((see FLOPPYs)).
