ok carrying on with the written diaries about my time at the telegraph in coventry
***shooting - the - stars***
hey the midweek pink edition was launched, it came out on a Wednesday& fuck was i busy,my feet never touched the ground i covered every sport going as every team in warwickshire demanded coverage,they bought the paper, which paid my fees,so felt they were entitled to coverage.who was i to complain.
the perks
after signing a contract with the telegraph i still managed to hold onto "full copyright",any picture orders came through me i was loaded&in demand, i had picture specials in all editions that came out, i went to every sporting event in warwickshire and beyond,what started off as a hobby escalated ........
what now
indeed!! ,the launch of the midweek pink was celebrating its 1st year,i was asked along to the 1st year celebrations, dan mason the editor at the time picked up the tab for the drinks bill(nice one dan) u still skint??.they even had a radio broadcast by the sports editor "roger draper", i sat listening to the live broadcast in the afternoon to hear him praise alan watson for his fantastic pictorial coverage/fuck i was in shock!........me(big AL) famous at last!!
i was given a free photo order form in every edition that came out,and ended up spending 60% of my time sorting photographic orders out,how fuckin cool is that...... to follow!
"the good the bad and the ugly"
