Work experience at The Guardian

From Monday, 21 May to Friday, 25 May 2012, I was on placement at The Guardian. It was an absolutely fantastic experience, which has made me want to become a journalist even more than before (which I didn't think was possible.)


For my own records, and in case you are interested, here are my bylines from the work experience placement (I'm surprised I got one let alone a handful!) in the order that they were published.


Middle East liveblog. I wrote a small report at 11.49am on Tuesday, 22 May 2012.

My proudest achievement. I proposed this story to the news desk and they kindly allowed me to write it for the online paper. It was published on Monday, 28 May 2012.
Camping at the Olympic Games at London 2012

I spent two days helping out the Culture section with picture and video research for a feature they did on 60 years of the UK singles chart. I am credited for that research on their online interactive, which was published on Thursday, May 31 2012.

On my first day of work experience at The Guardian, I was asked to interview a few of my acquaintances and friends for the 'Good to Meet You' feature, which is published online every Friday.
On Friday, 1 June 2012, my interview with Lizzy Pennock was published. Unfortunately, they misspelt my name but that really doesn't matter!

Hopefully, another 'Good to Meet You' interview I conducted will be published but it probably won't be for a while.
