The trainees also had sessions with Daily Mail consultant editor Andrew Pierce, MailOnline senior reporter Mark Duell, deputy showbiz editor Rebecca Davison and Mail on Sunday news-editor Ben Felsenburg. Paul Hutchinson from the managing editor’s office talked to the onliners and Editor Emeritus Peter Wright gave an insight into IPSO and the editor’s code. The trainees wrote headlines, picture captions and developed wire stories into Mail style. Milo Pope won both the headline of the week awards. This afternoon the trainees were briefed on the Queen’s funeral which they will all be covering on Monday. As always we finished with the newsquiz. The top scorer was Will Holmes with 17, narrowly ahead of Liv Dean on 16.5. The top solo scorer in last week’s newsquiz was Robert Rea on 22, ahead of Marion Fountayne, Stuart Bagnall, Etan Smallman and Sam Neve on 21, Olivia Dean on 20.5, Nick Turner, Janet Boyle and Gavin Devine on 20, Jayme Bryla 19 and Toby Brown and Anthony Ferguson on 18. The top team was the Three Legs drinkers (Peter, Stacey, Nicky, Les, Jim and Andre) who scored a maximum 25. They were ahead of Maura and Phil Parsons on 22.5, Joe and Lou Hart on 20.5, Adam Batstone and Lucy Thorpe and Bruce and Sarah Hayward both on 20 and Sarah and Joe on 19.5. Here is this week’s quiz. As usual there are 25 questions about the week. Give it a go and see if you can beat Will's score of 17.
