I said farewell to the DailyMail.com trainees in New York yesterday. They had a good final week with sessions by head of video Lisa Snell and former trainee Kelly Mclaughlin. They wrote stories around video, covered a breaking story, did some forward planning stories and submitted full packages to the website. They also had drinks with some of the senior journalists at Swifts Bar. Next week they will be going through the second stage of training in London. I look forward to seeing them on the other side. As always we finished with the week with the newsquiz. Congratulations to Valerie Edwards who was this week’s winner with 14.5 points out of 25. See if you can do any better.
