Mr. Paul interview

When we were doing our work, Mandy told us that a person was coming to our lesson and he is going to tell about his work which is related to creative media. In the lesson, the person name Mr. Paul came in and introduce himself and talk about his work. He told us that he had been working as a sub-editor for the Guardian newspaper. He told us that 20 years ago he studied Journalism at London Printing College. Normally, he started that his job involved in media line:

1. Writing about the celebrities facts and privacy which means finding personal information about a person's life.
2. Writes a monthly articles about music, sports, weather, food etc.
3. Writes about the music industry.

He gave a brief information about a sub-editor who is a person getting information from someone and copy features and writes about articles. He showed us for example, from a magazine of how an article is laid out to attract the audience with copy editing like heading, sub-headings, grammer, spelling and adding headlines etc. He also showed us that if the pictures and written texts are together, it really attracts the people who are reading the article and normally they wants the article to be more eye-catching, creativity and interesting.

The basic rules Mr. Paul told us about is the deadlines for the article which is to hand in as possible as they are told to do. If they don't they may lose their job immediately. So, deadlines are important for the sub-editors and even creative media jobs.

After he told us about his job, we were given a chance to ask a questions about his work. This happened like 15-20 minutes and later he told us that he were glad to be in an interview with us and gave us a short speech that would do good in our future and left the class.
