Thanks to its glorious reputation and friendly nature, I applied to Colosoul Magazine with fresh eyes after finishing my journalism degree at Curtin University. Initially skeptical about taking on an assistant music editor position, I was concerned as to what I could and would be able to contribute to the magazine.
Day one got off to a
shaky start. Not knowing where anything was or what I was doing was hard but Tricia (CEO) and
James (a fellow Assistant Music Editor) pushed me forward. The music department
is steadily ascending in quality and proficiency. We, as a cooperative and
eclectic bunch, have banded together to improve the music section’s work ethic,
contribution levels, and communication skills.
Working with James, we have interacted with bands and singer/songwriters
from across Perth willing to share their knowledge of, and experiences within, the
city’s music scene.
As a music editor, I’m able to appropriately and
effectively structure and improve an important section of the magazine. In
addition, the music position is bringing me closer to Perth’s arts and
entertainment culture.
Having reviewed albums from bands across WA, and
researched the state’s music hubs, this engaging and awe-inspiring side of
Perth is widening my gaze. Assisting with this section’s development, I am
learning to cooperate with writers and photographers, interact with lead
editors/creators, and absorb varying genres, artists, and movements.
