Journey of a Journo: public

What have you been up to?

Ambitious. Curious. Journalist.

This is my personal blog where you can walk in my stilettos to find out what I'm up to as an apprentice reporter at a newspaper company in Suffolk.

I graduated a year ago and I have finally found a little job where I'm getting paid to come into the office once a week, where I will build up the trust of sub-editors to carry out more and more tasks.

This will hopefully guide me on the right path to my ideal journalism career.

I hope you enjoy my ramblings! Feel free to get involved and join me on my journey.

I will appreciate all advice, as well as hopefully providing advice and open discussions to those who haven't a clue on where they will end up in the journalistic field...

People who are already successful journalists, please get in touch!

Even the slightest mention is an achievement!

(It really is the little things.) Received a nice little mention about the video I made when I asked people of Ipswich if they were going to the Suffolk show. The video itself is shit but I just feel giddy about the whole mention thing, as it took me all afternoon to grab people to talk to me!

My mention on the website. And my utter rubbish video.

Libel & Defamation - Explained very simply.

This is a very complex area of law. Very simply, if a person or organisation feel that you have portrayed them in a bad light that will influence the way they are perceived by the public, they can sue. There are a number of defences such as ‘public interest’ and ‘freedom of the press’. However, it is for a judge to decide whether or not they have a case. The difference between libel and defamation is that the former is written, the latter spoken.
