Jonathan Baldie – Sub-Editor
Far too interested in politics for someone of my age, I have a fascination for governmental business and economic policy. Currently a student in Edinburgh, I also write for the university newspaper. I love working with The Vibe because it’s a great way for young people to get interested in politics and express their views. I’m responsible for editing and publishing articles in the latter half of the week.
Likes: maths, civil liberties and BBC news
Dislikes: ignorance, rants and war

I’m responsible for editing and publishing articles in the first part of the week.
Likes: open-mindedness, brie and David Mitchell
Dislikes: ignorance, poor spelling and slugs.

Tom Hewitson – Webmaster
The original founder and editor of The Vibe, I now work for a national newspaper doing things completely unrelated to politics. Despite theoretically having moved on I can still be found giving unnecessary advice, fixing the server and dreaming up new ways to publish online.
Likes: anything and everything fattening, cycling, setting the world to rights
Dislikes: early starts, apathy, fundamentalism
