Volunteers make a world of difference

The SSH relies on volunteer editors, writers, photographers, artists and distributors. Without them, there would be no newspaper. Special thank you to Pat Clarke, who writes our regular Volunteers’ News column, Subeditors Cathie Harrison and Melinda Kearns, and Louisa Dyce, Assistant Editor, who makes a world of difference by way of organisation and distribution, writing, commissioning and collating.

Forthcoming issues will include articles from a new team of dedicated content editors. Thank you to all: Lyn Turnbull (News), Miriam Pepper (Environment), Brittany Johnson (Human Affairs), Dorothy McRae-McMahon (Interfaith), Megan Weier (Health), Maidie Wood (Legal), Shale Preston (Books), Lindsay Cohen (Film) and Catherine Skipper (Theatre).

We are keen to add a volunteer Sports editor to the team, someone with a passion for local and under-reported sports and fitness activities. Please contact us if you would like to apply for this position (editor@ssh.com.au).
