The life and times of a wannabe journalist and other mindless things. An NCTJ student on a mission. Day Three: Why can you never find an American without a T-shirt? Because they have the right to bear arms. No practical sessions today, but we did get to grips with the basics of writing a good news story. For someone who has spent most of my time writing features, it reminded me how rigid and disciplined you have to be when reporting the news. Pragmatic in and pretentious out.

By the time I got home, all I could muster up energy for was food and bed. March 4, 2011 at 7:22 PM.

The life and times of a wannabe journalist and other mindless things. An NCTJ student on a mission. Day One: In at the deep end. Wow After a day spent meeting, greeting and interviewing random strangers (yes they threw us straight into the deep end) I think it’s fair to say that my first day at journalism school was a success. By success I mean the modules look challenging, the tutors are great and my classmates seem absolutely lovely, which is what I was most nervous about. February 28, 2011 at 8:16 PM.
