This was my last day before my week long break in Newcastle, well by break I mean more work experience. I can’t believe how at home I feel in the office now and how much I’ll miss it for the week.
Today I saw the fruits of my labour as my own story on the young girl who was in need of a wheelchair made a lead and my article on the Belfast marathon made a downpage. However, they did cut the quote I had used my contacts to get, my few contacts so far here in Northern Ireland.
Time does fly when you’re having fun and I don’t know how many times I have said that. Today I worked on a story about Northern Ireland’s first surfing competition which was cancelled because the weather….was TOO good for once.
Once again spoke to some really nice people who were actually gutted to have the event postponed until May time. This kept me busy for the afternoon and when the newsroom quietened down the news editor and I had a chat about how my 2 weeks had gone.
It has been great to have had a news editor who was attentive despite being so busy and also a team of reporters who were so welcoming. Looking forward to getting back next week.
