Teaching a teenager about social media

Apparently a student on work experience at The Telegraph enjoyed my training:

One of the highlights during my week here, was getting the chance to attend a course with Adam Tinworth , a lecturer and journalist, called ‘Writing for the Web’.

This course was all about online journalism and learning how to write in a style that is appealing to a reader online. Honestly, me being a teenager, I had already assumed I knew all there was to know about social media but Adam definitely introduced me to a whole new perspective of the web.

Aw, shucks.
