Busy week in Howden with appearances by Daily Mirror editor Richard Wallace and Daily Telegraph digital editor Ed Roussel. Ed gave both Telegraph and Mail trainees an overview of the changing media landscape and told them in the digital age they would be their own brands - something they should carry with them throughout their careers. An intense week of subbing for the Mail trainees. We finished the week, as usual, with a newsquiz to make sure they are all reading the papers in detail. Congratulations to the Telegraph's Donna Bowater with 15.5 and Jennie Agg, top Mail trainee, with 14. See if you can do better.
