Join Farrago and Radio Fodder

Farrago is currently accepting applications for manager positions for 2026! If you are a UniMelb student interested in joining our wonderful managerial team, find all manager descriptions here as well as how to apply. If you are interested in joining Farrago in 2026 in a general staff role or wanting to cold submit for Edition One, you can expect to do so in early January 2026. 

Managers head each Media department. They are responsible for team coordination and closely operate alongside the Editors to facilitate the production of Farrago and Radio Fodder. While each Manager demonstrates the unique skills of their chosen departments, all possess shared capacities for leadership, organisation and communication.

Our vision for the 2026 managerial team is one of innovation, exploration and efficiency. In a media and arts landscape that is increasingly under threat, those in student media must be keen to adapt to new modes of communication whilst maintaining journalistic integrity and empowering student voice. Prospective managers should bring not only their experiences, ambitions and organisational skills to their roles but also, a strong capacity for people management, and navigating situations with grace and sensitivity. Well-respected and with a historic legacy, UMSU Media offers good foundations upon which future media and creative careers may be built. Likewise, managerial experience develops the leadership skills and organisational knowledge required for a strong Editor candidate.

We ask that applicants consider the aspirations and interests of their peers, as well as the kinds of experiences they would like to facilitate. If you are an ambitious and passionate member of the Media Collective, we encourage you to apply. The position will expand your creative skillset and challenge you with fresh decisions and responsibilities. We wish you the best of luck!

With love,

Maria, Ruby, Chiaki & Sabine
