Well done Kalhan, winner of US newsquiz

I am in New York this week, working with DailyMail.com trainees. They have had a good week and enjoyed sessions with editor Katherine Thomson, managing editor Andy Abrahams, assistant editor Hugh Dougherty, deputy social media editor Chris Lawrence and reporters Sophie Jane Evans and Wills Robinson. We finished the week, as we do on all courses, with a newsquiz … to make sure the trainees immerse themselves in the news agenda. Well done to Kalhan Rosenblatt who won this week with a respectable 16 points out of 25. Give it a go - and let me know how you get on.
