I said goodbye to the Daily Mail’s five sub-editing trainees … and hello to 11 from MailOnline this week. The print subs spent a day on long-form subbing with Fiona Webster and three days designing and laying out pages using InDesign and Photoshop with Mike Brough. The subs and a selection of their pages
The online trainees had sessions with editor Danny Groom, editorial director Ben Bailey, deputy managing editor Paul Hutchinson, SEO manager Tahar Rajab, Femail’s Bridie Pearson-Jones, travel editor Ted Thornhill and Mary Omogbehin from the managing editor’s office. They wrote stories, intros and headlines in Mail style. The intro of the week was written by Cameron Roy and the best headline by Pieter Snepvangers. Last night they enjoyed a 'meet the staff' event with drinks and mini-golf. We finished the week, as always, with the newsquiz. The top scorer was Pieter with 21, ahead of Luke Power on 19 and Sam Lawley, Olivia Christie and Ed Holt who all scored 18. The top scoring sub-editor over the four weeks was Kristina Wemyss who won a bottle of champagne. The top online scorer in last week’s quiz was George Mann with 20.5, ahead of Janet Boyle on 19.5, Jayme Bryla on 19, Marion Fountayne on 18, Rachel Petticrew and Lucy Evans on 16.5 and Robert Rea on 16. The top team was Neil and Jo Benson with 20, ahead of Maura and Phil Parsons on 18. Here is this week’s quiz. Give it a go and see if you can beat Pieter’s score.
