Sitting around the ‘ol Salient campfire at 4:04am this morning, Editor-in-Waiting Sarah Robson and I got talking about the history of this little publication—in particular, the last decade.
We like to think 2009 has been a great year, but has it been the best year? And if you were to make an all-star Salient team from the 00s, who’d be on it?
Let’s say you had to choose:
– An editor
– A news editor
– A designer
– Two feature writers
– Two unpaid news writers
– A music writer, a film writer, and a theatre writer
– Three columnists
– Two cartoonists
Who’d you choose? Would Appleton edge out Wood? Would Nippert kick Holm in the shins? Would Brunswick kick the Darkoom down the street?
And for comedy’s sake, what wacky VUWSA President would you have this crack team reporting on?
