The MailOnline trainees finished training in Kensington this week and are heading off to their placements at the Irish Daily Mail, the Scottish Daily Mail, the Press Association and the Liverpool Echo. They presented story ideas to deputy Femail editor Steph Linning and enjoyed sessions with deputy video editor Talya Varga, head of social media Chris Lawrence and a panel of previous trainees including Jonny Rose, Chris Matthews, Chay Quinn and Elmira Tanatarova. Natalie Johnson went through SEO with them and editorial manager Mary Omogbehin cast some light on the office practicalities. Some went to help the newsroom on Boris Johnson’s resignation day.
And Maddy Ross wrote about a West End actress who is campaigning for equal rights for cats after her beloved moggy was killed by a driver. Read it here.
Last night we had drinks with some of the senior staff at the Greyhound. I have enjoyed my three weeks with them. They are a very bright, talented and likeable bunch and I wish them well as they start their careers. Stars of the future. We finished, as always, with the newsquiz. This week’s winner with 19 points was Liv Jones who was the overall winner over the three weeks and collected the champagne. Well done Liv. Runner-up was Maddy Ross with 17. The top scorer in last week’s newsquiz was Toby Brown with a PB equalling 22, ahead of Robert Rea, Lucy Lamoury and Liv Jones on 20.5, Marion Fountayne on 20, Marguerite Turner and Janet Boyle on 19.5, Stuart Bagnall on 19, Tom Savage on 17.5 and Gavin Devine on 16.5. The top team was Maura and Phil Parsons on 21.5, just ahead of Adam Batstone and Lucy Thorpe on 21. The Three Legs drinkers scored 18. Here’s this week’s quiz. Give it a go and see if you can beat Liv's score.
