So today I am at Herts Advertiser, the local newspaper, doing work experience. So far I would say it has been interesting, but I feel a little awkward, as there seems to be little for me to do.
Also when I was first introduced to the team, my nose began to run.
HOW embaressing!
Although I went with the main person to see a lovely woman who is doing a baking competition as part of advertising her restaurant, and even packed up a gluten free cake for me to take away!
Also I got to write an article about David Dickinson, which Matt, the editor rewrote twice. Awkward.
However still appreciated being given the opportunity to understand exactly what news stories want, which is the complete opposite to my natural "chatty" writing style!
Still, I got free cake, and I have had a good morning. Also the weather is delicious, crisp and fresh but still warm with bright blue skies. The ultimate autumn weather that I have been longing for!
How British I am, speaking about the weather! I am currently sitting in MandS wondering how to spend the second half of my lunch break, and I just saw the waiter swear under his breadth at a kindly looking old lady. :(
I should leave really, I have long finished my soup. Perhaps I will go browse the jeans downstairs and then look in Waterstones for journalist books. I wonder what time the day will end. Hopefully not too late as I'm not sure they will be able to find me much to keep me occupied.
I'll let you know how the afternoon goes.
The afternoon was fun! Got a press release to type up and they published it with my name on the byline!!!
Woohoo!
Let the flourishing career as a journalist begin!
