The Editorial Board is the decision making body of The Beaver. Its role is to provide a balance to the executive powers of the Executive Editor and provide a forum in which policy decisions, strategy and day-to-day functions are discussed.

The Board comprises of the Executive Editor, the Managing Editor, the Secretary, the Collective Chair and Section Editors. Meetings are chaired by the Executive Editor, or in their absence the Managing Editor and are held at least weekly to discuss the previous week's paper and plan for the next edition.

Justin Webb is a former editor and has been the BBC's chief Washington correspondent since 2001.

James Corbett, contributing editor of The Observer Sport Monthly and author of Everton: The School of Science and England Expects was political editor of the paper.

Richard Bacon, a former Executive Editor, is the Conservative Member of Parliament for Norfolk South.

Former Executive Editor Tim Gopsill was a member of the collective of Leveller magazine, a political magazine which was involved in a well-recorded contempt of court case in 1979.

The Beaver is extremely proud of all its former contributors, and if you were ever one of us, we would love to hear from you about what you've been up to since!

News
News typically consists of LSE, University of London and Higher Education stories, and is frequently contacted by the national press.

Comment & Analysis
C&A publishes student opinion pieces discussing issues that are related to the general LSE student population, regardless whether they have wider social or political implications. Letters to the editor are also published, and the extensive range of articles and letters featured reflect the extensive readership within the LSE. From the average student to high level school officials, contributions to the C&A section have been wide-ranging and varied.

Features
Features deals with world politics, society, business, careers and law articles. It also conducts interviews with leading figures such as Sir Nicholas Stern.

PartB
Launched in 2005, PartB is The Beaver's arts and entertainment pull-out. It contains sections dedicated to Music, Film, Theatre, Literature, Visual Arts, Style, Travel and Food & Drinking as well as a Rant section and interviews with the likes of Stewart Lee, Eugene Hütz and Wolfmother. Each section is edited by a Comptroller, who is appointed by PartB's elected editors.

Sports
Mixture of match reports from LSE teams and comment on world sports. In 2000, The Beaver's James Mythen won Sports Writer of the Year at the Guardian Student Media Awards. Notable for its tongue-in-cheek style.

The Collective is the governing body of The Beaver. Unlike many student newspapers all editors on The Beaver are elected rather than appointed. The Collective is the body that elects all individuals into office, and also has the powers to remove individuals from office. In addition to the above responsibility, the Collective's role is also to hold the elected editors to account. Meetings of the Collective are held regularly and editors are required to make reports and are questioned on their progress. While meetings sometimes turn quite acrimonious the Collective remains one of the institutions within the paper that all Beavers are extremely proud of.

Any LSE student who has contributed to three issues of the paper, be it through an article, photograph or production of the paper qualifies to become a member of the Collective. The Collective also elects a Chair who chairs meetings and sits on the paper's main decision body, the Editorial Board, to represent the interests of the Collective on the board. The Chair also puts together agendas for meetings and is the first person to contact should anyone have any complaints about the editors of the paper. The Chair also sits on the LSESU Media Group Complaints Panel. An additional responsibility of the Chair is to produce Collective Packs for all members which includes a copy of the paper's Constitution and other relevant information along with some goodies. The current chair of the Collective is Lucie Marie Goulet. She can be contacted at collectivechair@thebeaveronline.co.uk.

The admin team are responsible for the smooth running of the non-editorial operations of The Beaver. It is headed up by the Secretary who works with the Executive Editor and the Managing Editor to decide the long-term operational strategy of the paper.

The team consists of six people. They perform a variety of roles, which can include building, external post and maintaining alumni relations, office equipment maintenance. They also contribute to the distribution of the paper.

The Beaver is the official newspaper of the LSE Students’ Union and has a strong tradition of independence from the Union and hard nosed intelligent reporting. Around 4,500 copies are published and distributed every Tuesday and 21 issues of the paper are published each academic year.

The paper includes News, Features, Sports, Comment&Analysis and an award-winning arts pullout PartB. The Beaver is governed by the Collective, a body of around 150 students who have written three or more pieces for the paper. The Collective democratically elects all of the paper’s editorial staff.

The paper is one of the UK’s most active student publications and counts itself among those at the forefront of student issues and campaigns.
