Not only did I own the front page of Lifestyle, I also took the front page (news) photo. It is of a WWII vet in front of a WWII memorial.
The new intern came in today, Madeline. She seems nice enough, but I find it bothersome when someone spends so much money on a college education-- she did five years at Columbia-- but somehow misses the newsroom experience. Why dont people realize that that is the most important part-- clips? By the time I graduate from UMaine I will have worked in five different news rooms as a writer.
My writing has gotten better. It takes me about two hours of reporting time and one hour of writing to get out a good story. My editor no longer has meetings with me about what she wants, though she edited a bunch of my articles recently. I know what she wants and I know how to do it well and quickly.
It isnt exactly what I want and I'll admit it has shaken my ambitions a bit, but it is getting better.
