Trainees Mackenzie Tatananni, Ishita Srivastava, Martha Williams
(with the champagne), Emma Richter and Dolores Chang
I said farewell to the DailyMail.com trainees in New York yesterday. They had a good final week with sessions by head of audience Rory Benson and SEO editor Katrina Schollenberger. They also presented story ideas to associate editor Charlie Lankston, news-editor James Nye and had one-to-ones with editor-in-chief Gerard Greaves. During the week they covered a live breaking story in real time, wrote personality profiles and prepared a newslist of story ideas for their return to the newsroom. Martha Williams was published for the third time during the course ... a grim story about a woman finding a dead frog in her salad. You can read it here
They have written more stories which will hopefully be published soon. Next week they are learning Content Creator with Nick Enoch. On Thursday they had drinks with some of the senior staff at the Copper Still. We finished, as always with, the newsquiz ... 25 questions about the week. Martha was the top scorer this week with 13 and won the champagne for having the top score over the three weeks. I really enjoyed my time with the trainees. They are a bright and enthusiastic bunch and I look forward to following their inevitable success. Below is the quiz. Give it a go and see if you can beat Martha's score.
