The MailOnline trainees had a busy second week in Kensington. They enjoyed sessions with executive editor Amanda Williams and history correspondent Harry Howard. They had a legal day with the Mail’s lawyers, assistant managing editor Paul Hutchinson and editor emeritus Peter Wright who talked about the editor’s code. They pitched news story ideas to associate editor Dan Sanderson and global news-editor John Sturgis and travel features to Ted Thornhill. They wrote stories, built pages and the best picture-story headline of the week award went to Lauren Haughey.
Liv Jones was the first trainee on the course to be published with her story about a disabled man who had his trip to Ed Sheeran’s Wembley concert saved by strangers. Read it here.
Second story up, on comedian Janey Godley announcing she was cancer-free, was written by Lucy Lamoury. Read it here.
And today Lauren Haughey had her first story, about an abortion clinic volunteer being called 'a cheerleader for Satan', published here. There will be plenty more bylines to come.
As always we finished the week with the newsquiz. The top scorers were Lucy Lamoury and Liv Jones who tied with an impressive 20.5 each. Well done to both. They collected £20 on the winning scratch card too. The highest solo score in last week’s newsquiz was Stuart Bagnall with 20, ahead of Toby Brown and Jayme Bryla on 18.5, Maddy Ross and Robert Rea on 18 and Marguerite Turner on 16. The top team was Maura and Phil Parsons also on 20, just ahead of Adam Batstone and Lucy Thorpe on 18, Three Legs drinkers Nicky, Les, Peter, Jose and Robbie on 17 and Bruce and Sarah Hayward on 16. Here is this week’s newsquiz. As usual there are 25 questions about the week. Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
