WORK EXPERIENCE ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Tomorrow we have been set the challenge of writing out the Queen's Christmas Speech in shorthand....and I will be going to 91.8 Hayes FM to do some work experience for an hour or two. It seems there is no escaping from the heavy workload that comes as part of the package of being a postgraduate trainee journalist. Even on Christmas Day we must remain dedicated because our job as reporters is to capture the news as and when it happens. The news is always with us...even on Christmas Day. We may take a few hours away from the news desk but we never really leave it. Being a journalist is a 24/7 profession, and as trainees the sooner we get used to it the better. Merry Christmas everyone.
