Holly O’Flinn is a trainee reporter at the Lincolnshire Echo newspaper based in Lincoln just opposite the university. She has been attending the University of Lincoln since 2013 until 2016. Her key responsibilities are writing copies for the 24/7 website and weekly newspaper. What makes her job challenging but also attractive is the fact that she has to find and pursue stories, contact appropriate people, arrange appointments and produce articles with relevant content.
Holly also keeps track of social media and emergency news sites for any breaking news like fires and crashes. Thanks to social media she can find and use videos from the locals who are on site at that particular moment when the matter is happening. That gives her first-hand access to various stories in the area and makes them more vivid with that community journalism flavour.
