For what it’s worth

For what it’s worth

I came back from Melbourne and I’m back at Stateline. My story, about how the Ipswich Art Gallery is celebrating the Queenslander, should be going to air tomorrow night (ABC1 7:30 onwards). In the meantime, here’s my opinion piece I did for Emmecks last week.

Wetness-day

This morning I was still completing my previous blog posting as I got off the tram and walked towards the large building that houses what I’ve called “the office” for the past couple of days. My day officially starts at 8:30 and I’ve got the impression, they want me to be punctual but not so(…)

My two scents

This dispatch comes from the #67 tram. Yesterday saw a much busier DDS. I got to my desk at around 8:30am freshly dressed and smelling of aluminium-free tea tree deodorant. Before I even had a chance to sit down my supervisor gave me my first task. “David, would you be able to write an op-ed?”(…)

Em Ecks

Em Ecks

Shortly after uploading my last post I shuffled into the lobby and got my visitor’s pass. I noticed some other young men wearing the same passes. “Are you fellows interning too?” I ventured. They were. Well all except for one. He looked a little older. I must have been staring at him with a blank(…)

My second internship will start in less than thirty minutes. 10:30 induction. I’ve been staying in the same guesthouse as AG. He had a big feature published in his paper today with nice big colour pictures. Anyway, this post is about me. I’ve got three story ideas I want to pitch to the paper. Time(…)

Waiting in turn

I write this as I wait at Brisbane Domestic Airport with my “smart” phone. Its so clever that I can update the JSchool blog without the intimidation of a PC. I am on my way to Melbourne to do a week with News Ltd. Last week saw me a nephew again- in the sense that(…)

Photography 101

Photography 101

On Tuesday we’ll have a photojournalism class and I’m very much looking forward to it. I’ve always taken a pretty relaxed attitude to photography and tried to learn from trial and error. So I’m going to make the most of Tuesday’s class and try to take away a few tips to help me improve my(…)

small but good trick

During an interview with a political candidate, she asked what questions we were going to ask her. The cameraman’s response was really good. He said, “we are not shooting live, so if you stumble you can answer again.” It was basically a nice way of saying “good luck trying to get the questions in advance.”(…)

World Refugee Community Festival

World Refugee Community Festival

Today JC and I went to the World Refugee Community Festival in Annerley to chase down some stories. There were stories everywhere. It was just a matter of deciding what to cover. I started chasing a councillor regarding an announcement she made there. The event organiser kindly introduced me to a man who represented a(…)

All good things come to an end.

All good things come to an end.

I wasn’t quite as teary as Mr Rudd, but it was sad to say good bye to everyone this afternoon. They seemed to partially share some of these sentiments. I spent most of the day working on my travelogues. If you follow me on twitter you would have seen that I tweeted “Hard to reduce(…)

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(…)
