Jessica wins the US newsquiz

I have enjoyed another good week with the DailyMail.com trainees in New York. They have been writing stories for the website and had sessions with managing editor Andy Abrahams, photo director Jolie Novak and journalist Annabel Grossman. They also went for drinks with some of the senior staff. It was a particularly good week for trainee Clémence Michallon who gained her first byline for DailyMail.com. The first of many no doubt. She brought in and wrote a story on the dangers of politicians eating on the campaign trail. You can read it here.  

As always we finished the week with the newsquiz. The trainees found it tougher this week so the scores were a little lower than last time. Well done to Jessica Chia who was top scorer with 12 out of 24. Let me know if you can do any better.
