[Journalists] introducing

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hello Azizza,
Welcome to our list.

I am glad you want to be an editor as this will enhance your newspaper 
experience.
If I were you, I would take on as many stories as you can and also submit 
story ideas.
I work for a daily newspaper in Texas, and our editors expect us to come up 
with the majority of our stories. We rarely get assignments. Also, proofread 
your stories several times before you turn them in to check for spelling and 
grammar. Make sure you are always accurate by asking people how to spell 
their names and verifying phone numbers and addresses. These are helpful 
skills to sharpen

Please feel free to ask more questions.

Sincerely,

Liz Campbell
