During my first month or so working on the Visitor it has been very interesting from both a job perspective and also as a resident of Rhyl.
The learning of the whole process of story writing and putting that into print has provided invaluable experience for me.
Covering Abergele and St Asaph is a great opportunity for me to work on my journalistic skills and provide informative as well as entertaining reading material for people.
The feedback I have received has been pleasing and even if I haven’t managed to please everyone, the fact that people are passionate enough to e-mail or phone me is important in trying to understand what members of the community expect from THEIR local paper.
The soap opera that is the Visitor office has provided a great environment to work in, although the countless dogs barking and people asking if we’re the Journal (how dare they!) can be tiresome.
I hope to hear off more people in the next few weeks as I start to become more familiar on the paper. It is my wish that members of the community can come to me with any story, confident that I will produce an honest article on the back of it.

Good luck with the new role Andy, the Visitor seems to be getting more Abergele stuff in it but could always do with more St Asaph material.
We like the Visitor up here but often we're starved of publicity - don't forget about us!
