OK dudes and chicks, here goes my first blog post on the internship. I was going to leave it until tomorrow and do a whole week wrap-up until I finally read John’s letter and realised it was supposed to be an on-going thing, oh well. My week has been pretty up and down, but at(…)
History in the making..
Day three and four… I have a confession to make. I spent an awful lot of time googling Julia Gillard and Labor today so my story writing may have suffered. Well, it did suffer, because for 99 per cent of today I really would have liked to crawl in a nice hole somewhere and fall(…)
Interning South of the Border
Well, despite dreading our required week long print internship, I have to say I have been thoroughly enjoying the experience. As many of you know, having worked in broadcast media previously, my preference for reporting has been directed towards television and/or radio however the traditional style of news reporting has opened my eyes up to(…)
My time at the RBH continues.
I’ll start this rambling post by saying that I’ve really been enjoying reading other Jscholar’s entries. And I really enjoyed reading the Newsbytes story by a certain Mr Stilianos today. I last posted after my first enjoyable day at RBH. Tuesday morning I arrived after a quick pit stop at a chain coffee shop with(…)
Internship Day 3
Today at Quest flew past with lots to do and a whole new perspective on the office dynamics – the editor has a great rapport with his journos and they regard him with affection. Got four stories done and a funny vox pop with a photographer with a sense of humour and some press releases(…)
Internship – Day 3
I think I might have left the wrong impression with my last post, it seems to come across as if I’m bored – well I’m not. It’s actually been great and very productive so far. So far I’ve sifted through a few press releases to make proper stories out of (always requires effort) and make(…)
Day two..
So this week my flu decided to come back in full force, and I spent most of the day coughing and spluttering at my desk in the corner. I can’t tell whether Julian, the editor is sorry for me or concerned for everybody else.. But, the newspaper stops for no one and my story writing(…)
Work experience update
Well, after feeling really useless this morning, my day improved with being given more to do – working on two stories but unfortunately have to wait for this boy to come home from school and this lady to return home – but that is all good as can at least contact them after hours!! Have(…)
Work Experience
Work experience – I am desperate!! It is 11h12 and am not sure what to do – are going in to a meeting and hopefully will get something.
Mountains and Molehills.
Day One: Dear Avelima Eliepa: You must have been a hell of an intern because expectations today were higher than I thought they’d be. Not write the front page kind of high, but much higher than these blogs and Desley’s advice had me believe For anyone unaware, Avelima graced Pine Rivers Press with her presence(…)
My first day at the RBH.
I spent last week as an intern at ABC’s Stateline. It was a fantastic experience. I worked with K McL on a story about high-voltage powerlines going through the property of some chilled-out owners in the Sunshine Coast Hinterlands. Anyway, this week I was going back to my roots. I was brought up in Redcliffe(…)
Internship – Day 1
Is it normal for there to be press releases on Mondays that aren’t helpful in any way? So yes, that’s been my main annoyance today. I’ve been trying to find something to write about all day but haven’t found anything of interest to this area yet. Actually, I just spoke to my friend Kyren at(…)
