The Next Chapter
The NXF and GCN are proud to announce Alice Linehan as the magazine’s new Editor. Upon assuming the role, Alice shares what the appointment means for her and her hopes for the future of Ireland’s national LGBTQ+ press.
On April 3, 2020, I sent an email to GCN expressing my “extreme” interest in volunteering with the team. I said I had wanted to get involved with an LGBTQ+ organisation for some time, and with my background in media, I believed it’d be a perfect fit. As a bright-eyed student preparing to graduate, I was not one to sell myself short. I outlined my experience in video, photography, social media and more, but failed to mention that I had rarely been drawn to the art of writing. In fact, I did the exact opposite and made it sound like it was something I was totally interested and skilled in. This was despite having penned perhaps one article in my life.
