The newsquiz: Ellie's 18.5 to beat

The Mail and Telegraph trainees with Mike Watson and me at the Manor

I have been with the Telegraph trainees in PA Training's Manor at Howden this week, talking about subbing, headlines and laying out pages. The Daily Mail subbing trainees have been with trainers Tony Johnston and Mike Watson and enjoyed a photography session with the MD of Press Association Images, Martin Stephens. Today the Telegraph trainees are off to the Newcastle Chronicle and Journal offices and the Mail subs are off to the Hull Daily Mail. This meant we did the newsquiz yesterday. Well done to Ellie Buchdahl who won with an impressive 18.5 out of 23. She was closely followed by Olivia Williams and Josephine Forster on 17. Top Telegraph trainee was Rhiannon Williams with 16.5.
