A little hello....

Hello my name is Vicki and I'm one of the North Kent reporters here at the News Shopper.

As a relative newbie, having only been here since June, I thought it a good idea to tell you guys about my journey so far.

Before starting at the News Shopper I was studying for my NCTJ preliminary certificates in Journalism. This involved studying law, government, newswriting and learning shorthand, (a great skill to have as a reporter.)

I also live on patch in Hextable, Kent, which is a great advantage for me.

I'm one of the youngest at the paper, being only 20, so sometimes I do find myself becoming confused but I guess I'm still learning!

I've always been interested in current events and what's going on around me so naturally this job is a great choice for me. Everyday is different, from writing an article about a quarry to following up a potential murder.

I'll be writing every week to keep you guys updated on what has happened within the world of the North Kent desk at the News Shopper, so make sure you keep on reading and if there are any events/news that you think will be of interest feel free to drop me an email.

Bye for now,

Vicki :-)
