Pi Media: Pi TV co-Editor in Chief

Hi all, I'm Klaudia Krzywda a 3rd year Media BA student. I have been part of Pi media since my first year, mainly involved in the PiTV section as an editor and videographer. Pi media was the first society to welcome me in during my first year allowing me to do more than just study but meet new people and take part in many different activities with multiple societies. Aim as Pi Co- editor in Chief: 

•  I intent to return the favour, to maintain the homey and comforting sense of community within the society. 
• To expand on the societies creative sector and make PiTV the go to society for advertising and documenting society plays, musicals and music/dance events. Allowing other societies to have their events filmed and distrusted with ease all through the PiTv YouTube channel. This allows Pi the chance to form strong bonds with other societies and make themselves more visible and dependable. 
• Maintain a more systematic schedule for video uploads.  This will be done by ensuring we have enough people interested in different video journalism topics, sections such as : UCL specific news, World news, and UCL creative advertising and documenting etc. Likewise, by finding and identifying strong and dependable groups of videographers, editors and Pitv presenters, drawing from a pool of current members and new people who wish to learn.

Overall, I intent to allow PiTv become a more visible section of the society and to become the go to point of contact for filming and distribution of news and

Hi! I'm standing for co-Editor in Chief because I think Pi TV has so much potential, I have lots of ideas for potential projects, and I want to test myself in a different field of journalism.  

My ideas:

I would hope to oversee two main changes for Pi TV. First, I think content needs to be released on a far more regular basis. Second, I want Pi TV to be far better integrated with Pi Online.

For example, we could start creating a short, weekly video/podcast that summarises important news from that week and discusses recent Pi articles - and why not add this to the Pi website? We could also have one, more impressive journalistic piece created every term. And of course I would be super open to ideas from Alexia and the team.

My experience:

I have lots of experience writing and editing for student newspapers - I'm currently one of the editors for the Features section of Pi Online.

I have little technical experience with video journalism. That said, I think I would be very useful in an organisational capacity, and I would learn the rest quickly! 

I also imagine my previous role as Head of Speakers at TEDxOxford would have had a lot of overlap with my potential role at Pi TV. It was my responsibility to collaborate with inspiring individuals and help to prepare them to speak at our conference. This involved organising interviews, planning speech ideas, holding rehearsals, and editing drafts/speeches in a non-print format - all of which would be relevant here. 

Staś :)
