A major part of my responsibilities was overseeing the production process—liaising with columnists and contributors; coordinating between the various bureaus and departments and managing the work flow between Lounge’s writers, designers and the desk. Given Mint’s focus on multi-media content, I also produced some videos, mostly related to food stories, for livemint.com.

The job involved coordinating with the reporters, columnists and the design team. Show less
