Politics Made Public aims to provide a forum where politically curious students can present, analyse and contest some of the most significant contemporary political issues. With an international perspective to bring about a better understanding of the ends which some news stories whether untold or unremarked may lead us to, the PMP takes its point of departure in simplicity and approachability in conveying stories that are sometimes neglected by mainstream media, but is of consequential importance to the global world of politics we live in today, and serves to provide its readers with holistically informed and evaluated material. As Acquisition Editor, I am in charge of approving pitches, editing and publishing assignments. As the Branch Editor at the University of Edinburgh, I lead a team of editors and journalists who contribute to the online and print version of the magazine. Website: http://politicsmadepublic.com/
