Jan. 2011 - Mar. 2025KensingtonStarted off with sporadic Saturday shifts, moving up to regular Saturday shifts, then onto sporadic weeks, then regular weeks. Basically, I worked whenever as asked, which was a reasonable amount. Duties involved finding, researching and writing my own stories, helping find contact details and tracking people down, utilising social media and the internet to get and develop stories, doing FOI requests, being sent out on an amazingly wide range of stuff and getting the teas in of my own free will and accord. That last one, I feel, is particularly important.
