I edited this dynamic and evolving newspaper from November 2010 to September 2013. My role involved managing staff and content, and overseeing news layouts. My aim is to produce an engaging and eye-catching newspaper which is a voice for the people of Colac and district.During my time as editor I oversaw the development of a new layout and masthead for the Colac Herald, written a new style guide and manual, instituted a new social media policy, negotiated a workplace agreement, introduced new sections, and worked to build the company's branding and profile.The award-winning Colac Herald is Colac and district’s newspaper of choice, overflowing with local news, sport and advertising.Produced by a dedicated team based in Colac, the Colac Herald arrives each Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the district’s most up-to-date and in-depth news and sports reports and advertising that’s a proven winner.
