Oliver wins this week's newsquiz with 21

The Daily Mail trainee subs had another busy week in Kensington. They spent Monday doing long-form editing with Fiona Webster, assistant night editor Lottie Young set them a subbing exercise and they enjoyed cookies and great advice from executive chief-sub Rich Hall. They wrote personality profiles and headlines, copytasted for the next day’s paper, covered a breaking story in real time and came up with ideas for new publications and features. This afternoon showbiz editor Katie Hind took a break from covering Liam Payne to talk about her role. Amelia Perry won a scratchcard for the most accurate copytasting decisions. As usual, we finished with the newsquiz, 25 questions about the week. This week’s winner was Oliver Jervis with a score of 21, ahead of Tom Burton on 19 and Amelia on 16. The top solo scorer in last week’s newsquiz was George Mann with 20, just ahead of Amelia and the Rev Leon on 19, Oliver on 18.5 and Zoe Glascow on 16.5. The top team was Adam Batstone and the Spanish golfing gang with 20, ahead of Broad Oak boozers Thom, Craig George and Tim on 18.5, Red Lion drinkers Peter and Stacey on 17 and Maura and Phil Parsons on 16. Here’s this week quiz. Why not give it a go and see if you can beat Oliver’s score.
