AN OVERJOYED journalism graduate is celebrating today after securing
the position of chief Twitter copy and pasting technician at a leading
news publication.
Niamh Fennell, 23, took up her position overseeing all copying and
pasting of tweets sent by celebrities as well as normal everyday
individuals who use vaguely popular hashtags earlier this morning.
“It’s a real slog out there, so I was delighted to get the job, but
better yet in my desired field of copy and pasting tweets…I’m so happy,”
Niamh gushed, before talking us through how 4 years of a journalism
degree prepared her for this moment.
“You’ve got to apply critical thinking when in the media game, which
celebrity’s Twitter should I look at today, or which hashtag should I
search through today to make an article out of,” Niamh explained.
“I’m just glad I’ve been able to utilise my studies, and in
particular the issues I explored in my thesis; Unreliable Narrator: Arab
Spring Journalism,” the journalism graduate added before double
checking if Kim Kardashian had uploaded another selfie since she last
checked 73 seconds ago.
Niamh is no stranger to paying her dues, as exemplified by her previous stint as an intern at another publication.
“Yeah, that was a real learning curve alright, but they only let me
go near Twitter favourites on that one, so safe to say I’m like the cat
that’s got the cream now I’m let loose on retweets, tweets and
hashtags,” the journalist revealed.
