Meet GN Editor Shay Meinecke

I first joined Gwangju News as a writer. However, when I saw an opportunity to get involved as an Assistant Editor, I snatched it.I joined the team of volunteers simply to help.

Running a magazine is a great deal of work. Thinking of stories, compiling writers, collecting content, editing and publishing is something that a bigger, non-volunteer based group would have problems with. Considering all this, and realizing my passion for writing, journalism and publishing, I decided that a bigger role with the magazine would be ideal.

I hope my passion brings energy and excitement to the team of volunteers and is shown on the pages of the magazine. I hope my hard work and dedication helps to enrich an already accomplished magazine. I plan to contribute to the magazine simply by putting in the effort wherever needed. They have done a great job of presenting information about Jeollanamdo, compiling stories about current issues and researching fun things to get involved with. As an Assistant Editor, I will work on doing my part.

In addition, I hope to discover more about the Gwangju community. The content provided by the volunteer writers is astounding. The work completed by the editing team is amazing. Getting involved with a magazine that has done so much for their area is something to be proud of. As an Assistant Editor of Gwangju News, I want to get more involved and be proud of the work that goes into creating an already great magazine.
