The Rife Team
Rife was led by an outstanding Editorial Team based within Watershed. Over the years we were guided by four inspiring Editors, kept in shape by a brilliant set of Producers and Co-ordinators, while the work itself was driven by 38 extraordinarily talented in-house content creators. While employed at Rife, they created many of the things you see on the website, from thought-provoking articles to powerful videos, and promoted it on social media.
