| Yours truly with Mail trainees Emily Davies, Jaymi McCann, Olivia Williams (with her scratchcard prize), Francesca Infante, Aisling Scally, Sara Smyth, Hannah Ellis-Petersen, Liv Lee and Simon Murphy. |
I have just finished my second week with the Daily Mail reporting trainees. They had a good few days covering the Olympic Parade, finding Mail stories, drawing up a newslist and last night we met up with former trainees at the Brass Monkey in Victoria. Next week they move from PA Training's offices to Northcliffe House where they will spend time with Mail journalists. As always, we finished off the week with a newsquiz. Olivia Williams won the scratchcard for the second week in a row with 14.5. Francesca Infante was once again second with 13.
The Telegraph trainees, who began their course at PA's training centre in Howden on Monday, also did the quiz. Their top score was by Dan Johnson with 13 points. There are 21 points up for grabs this week. See how you get on.
