February 2007 Archives

Publicity can be terrible. But only if you don't have any.

ONE of my biggest gripes being in local journalism is having to deal with people who want to be in the newspaper, but don't want publicity.

They're a strange breed. Like attention-seeking Big Brother contestants who embarrass themselves before millions on national television, and then complain when the celeb magazines start prying into their lives, there are people out there who want to speak to a reporter, but not be in the paper.

What an experience!

I HAVE thoroughly enjoyed my week's work experience with the editorial section of the Weekly News, and I'm really quite sad to have to leave.

I am currently working in the Advertising section for all of the Trinity Mirror papers in North Wales, including the Weekly News, which I enjoy. However, I really wanted to have an insight in the Editorial section, as the creative element is really what appeals to me.
