Trainee Aadam wins newsquiz with 19

The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday trainees enjoyed another busy week in Kensington. They had sessions with leader writer Neil Darbyshire, consultant editor and columnist Andrew Pierce, associate editor Stephen Wright and there was a Q&A panel with some of last year’s trainees. Editor emeritus Peter Wright went through the editor’s code and the Mail’s lawyers covered contempt, libel, bribery, privacy, copyright and data protection.

The trainees also pitched story ideas to chief reporter Sam Greenhill and deputy chief reporter Inderdeep Bains, Femail editor Fiona Hardcastle and MailOnline travel editor Ted Thornhill. Sports trainee Aadam Patel spent the weekend covering the cricket, including the T20 Finals Day at Edgbaston and England’s ODI defeat in Manchester. He got three bylines on MailOnline - read his stories here, here and here - and two in the paper.

Aadam and Maya Wilson-Autzen did subbing shifts on Thursday night and both got their work published. The trainees also examined headlines, pictures and graphics. The headline of the week award was shared by Daisy Graham-Brown and Sophie Mitchell. We finished as always with the newsquiz. The winner this week with 19 was Aadam, just ahead of Daisy on 18. In last week’s newsquiz the top solo scorer was Chay Quinn with 22, ahead of Marguerite Turner and Janet Boyle on 20, Robert Rea on 18 and trainee Daisy and Stuart Bagnall on 17. The Three Legs drinkers of Nicky, Les, Andrew, Linda, Bryan and Heather were the highest scoring team with 18, ahead of Adam Batstone and Lucy Thorpe on 16. It must have been a tough one as many regular high-scorers posted scores below 16.
Here is this week’s quiz. As usual there are 25 questions about the week. Give it a go and see if you can beat Aadam’s score.
