A couple of tutors at my College asked me if I could write an article for the college newsletter about my work experience; so I thought i’d post it on here with a couple of the photos I took. I visited the Cats Protection, which me and the other photographer were very excited about. And the other picture is of two dogs who help people about at home, like bringing them the remote and things, they were the cutest :)
Photojournalism has been something I’ve been interested in for a long time, the one thing I love to do is go out and take pictures. So when I found out, by approaching one of the County Press photographers last year at the Island Games, that they take people on for work experience, I was very eager to get something lined up for after I finish exams.I wanted specifically to learn more about the job, and how the photographers got to where they are now. About half way during my AS year, I got the email address of the Editorial Assistant, and (after a while of negotiating dates), finally had the work experience organised. I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t know whether the atmosphere was casual, or more formal. But everyone was very friendly and laid back. There are 3 main photographers, and t the start of the day, they are given a list of all the jobs, which can grow into 10-15 jobs as the day goes on. My time there was basically spent following them all around the island, photographing all kinds of things from sailing trips, to houses, cars, a new skate park, and someone who had been nominated in the Queens Honours list. I really enjoyed my time there, and I learnt a lot, but I was especially quick to learn that you have to enjoy driving, because the job involves a hefty amount! The photographers have days where they can be rushed off their feet, or quite laid back, and can take their time on things, which both appeal to me, and they are all very passionate about what they do. I think it was a great experience, and something that has definitely motivated me to pursue this line of work.

Happy 200th birthday to the Manchester Guardian.
The Guardian newspaper has just turned 200 years old. The paper reports the classifieds which saved young lives at the time of the Third Reich.
Juxtapose this with the stance from another British newspaper, the Daily Mail:
If it’s woke/SJW/snowflake to appreciate the Guardian, in an era of increasing populism and ethno-nationalism, then I’m happy to be woke.
All images and captions are from The Guardian. It’s interesting to see how society has evolved to respond to global pandemics over the last 100 years. Fun facts about Spanish Flu:
- It is not known where the Spanish Flu originated
- The Spanish Flu became associated with Spain because Spain was not subject to the same media blackouts and was hit hard by the flu.
- The Spanish believed that the flu originated in France and called it the “French Flu”
- The First known case of Spanish flu was March, 11 1918 at Camp Funston in Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA.
- Quarantines and mask wearing were required in areas.
- Aspirin was used to combat the Spanish flu, and the recommended dose was up to 30 mg/ day, which is toxic.
- Many deaths from Spanish flu were caused or sped up by aspirin poisoning
- The Spanish Flu is often called the “Forgotten Pandemic” as it occurred in a time of media blackouts and did not have extensive reporting.
“Clean, clear and soft skin was how soap was sold before the flu took hold. (Manchester Guardian, January 1918)“
“The antiseptic cleanliness of Lifebuoy tackled the “influenza scourge” and left the whole family in “smiling health,” claimed its makers Lever Brothers. (Manchester Guardian, March 1919)”
“As more people died of flu, the tone of adverts changed. Boots placed an advertorial that encouraged washing with soap, and quoted the Ministry of Health: “Our country’s greatest asset is its people.” (Manchester Guardian, April 1919)”
“An increase in demand for soap led manufacturers to ship more raw materials from abroad. (Manchester Guardian, February 1920)”
“Jeyes disinfectant – either in liquid or soap form – was promoted as being invaluable when tackling germs in the home, school and office. (Manchester Guardian, May 1919)“
“A versatile soap, Ivy, could be used for many cleaning tasks, including washing delicate materials like lace. (Manchester Guardian, April 1922)“
“Pinkobolic soap claimed to be both effective and economical. (Manchester Guardian, June 1920)”
“The makers of Sunlight soap commissioned a series of adverts that introduced readers to different people living on “Sunlight Street”. This advert featured a mother and her children who, thanks to Sunlight soap, benefited from clean and healthy surroundings. (Manchester Guardian, May 1922)“
“Despite unforeseen dangers of infection and contagion “Your life must go on; you must meet, touch and talk to people…,” said this advert. (Manchester Guardian, June 1924)“
“Everything from influenza to burns were said to benefit from the antiseptic product Yadil. It was sold as a soap, ointment and liquid. (Manchester Guardian, November 1928)“
Writing for the newspapers was not considered a respectable occupation. Probably greatly to their advantage, it was thought mildly degrading to fight a duel against a newspaper man. To have taken paid employment from a newspaper also ensured a man would be barred from the legal profession in England, according to a regulation of 1807

“Mrs. Tilly, I think you wrote a lovely well-spelled and grammatical letter to us suggesting that everyone under the age of eighteen shoulqd be flogged once a week to stop them being so noisy?’ ’
Once a day, Mr de Worde,’ said Mrs. Tilly. ‘That’ll teach ‘em to go around being young!”
