Going to have to use a bit of artistic licence with this challenge. My initial intention was to use my NCTJ in newspaper and magazine journalism to good effect and get me an article published. Since completing the course I have been narrowly denied on a couple of occasions. Heart breakingly having sold an article to the Wales on Sunday a week after completing my course, my interviewee asked for the article not to be run as his Mum wasn't happy with it. It was more than understandable as it was a very revealing article about personal family business and I completely understood his thoughts. However this didn't prevent me having a slight meltdown which ended up with me stubbing my toe after repeatedly booting a wall. From then on I have been able to write for a cracking new website called pale blue news but as yet am still to trouble a national publication. Probably due to the fact that when I should be researching articles I'm on here spouting about myself.Oh well!
Having had contact with the Wales on Sunday I sent them a brief description of the blog thinking that they might let me write up a small piece about it. Amazingly they were really interested in the blog and wanted to do an interview piece that was printed in last Sundays edition.Sweet!
I've scanned the article in and will hopefully get it uploaded to facebook at some point. Below is a picture of the article with my challenge number.Article published about me-done. Now, ten years until forty, reckon that's enough time for even a procrastinating idiot like me to get an article published somewhere....isn't it?!
