Interview with Mr. Paul

As part of the creative media scene project the class interviewed Mr. Paul who had been working as a sub-editor for the Guardian newspaper. He studied journalism at London Printing college 20 years ago. His work involves
working on magazine articles which include:
1. Writing features about celebrities which means finding personal information about a person's life.
2. Writing about the music industry.
3. Monthly articles on music, sports and food etc.

He explained that sub-editor is someone who gets information and writes copy features. He showed us an example of how an article is laid out to attract the audience with headings and sub-headings. He also showed us how to present images and texts together to make the article more creative and eye-catching .

Mr. Paul told us that deadlines are important and if someone kept missing deadlines he/she will lose their job.
After he gave his speech, we were given the opportunity to ask him some questions about his job.
