Claremont COURIER/Friday, July 17, 2015

22

A warm welcome

ello! My name is Amelie

Cook, and Im the Claremont
COURIERs most recent cub
reporter. I go to El Roble Intermediate
School and will be entering the 8th
grade this year. Ive always enjoyed
reading and writing, and hope to become a journalist when I grow up.
This opportunity came to me during Career Day
at El Roble, when I talked to the papers editor
Kathryn Dunn. I asked her about job openings in
journalism and if you need to intern before becoming a reporter at a newspaper or magazine.
Ms. Dunn said it was important for journalists to
get as much experience as possible. She suggested
that I do an internship with the COURIER during
the summer, and I happily accepted the invitation.
Ive had a great time these past few days, working on the Almanac and writing a couple stories.
Im definitely excited to write more for the newspaper this year, as one of its cub reporters.
