Dean Lobo

500+ copies edited

288+ editions managed

32+ weekly specials curated 

11 interns trained to become better storytellers

 

These numbers represent all that I have been able to bring to the table as an editorial hand. From managing regular upcountry news editions and liaising with local freelancers, to conceptualizing and successfully rolling out a weekly page dedicated to youth issues, I have had to opportunity to do it all. But the most reward experience is when your writer is able to see the editorial difference that you have made to his or her copy.
'Make sure it is factually correct, but keep it real', that is what I believe is the mantra to be a good editor.
