Can you beat Jack's newsquiz score?

Peter Rutzler's article on Liverpool and Manchester City

The MailOnline trainees have had another busy week. They pitched story ideas to executive editor Ian Walker and discussed travel stories with Ted Thornhill. From Wednesday they have been put through their paces by Amy Marley, the former head of the Mail’s global news gathering team. Sports trainee Peter Rutzler was the first on the course to be published with a story looking at Manchester City and Liverpool’s title challenges. You can read it here. 

Meanwhile the Daily Telegraph trainees enjoyed social media training, including advanced verification and story-finding and social story-telling, with Silvia Costello and the art of editing, grammar, punctuation and language with Malcolm Starbrook. They also had advanced media law with Andrew Knight. As usual both sets of trainees finished the week with the newsquiz. The top scorer on the Mail course was Jack Newman with 15. The top Telegraph scorer was Mason Boycott-Owen with 12. 

The top online scorer in last week’s quiz was Toby Brown with 17 and Adam Batstone and Lucy Thorpe on 16.5. Here is this week’s quiz. Give it a go and see if you can beat Jack's score.
