DAILY ECHO VISIT

On Monday the 29th of November 2010 the whole of the Journalism Club went to visit the Daily Echo. At first we went into a big posh meeting room and we were given biscuits and orange juice while the editor Ian Murray talked to us about the different sections of the news such as sport, entertainment and weather. Then he showed us round the huge offices where hundreds of people work. We also got shown around the printing presses, which were enormous and a bit smelly! Lastly we got shown the old dark room where they used to develop photos. This isn’t need now we have digital photos. We had a fantastic time and we also had a picture taken that went in the news paper on the 30th of November. We had a really interesting time and I hope I can get a job as a journalist at the Daily Echo some day!
