Hold The Front Page…

…because I’m on it.
Since joining MCV almost exactly one year ago, I have had a few of box outs and secondary stories on the front cover (I can think of three of the top of my head), but this week is the first week I have written the main cover story.
True, my colleagues have written dozens over the course of 2009. Also true, it’s a story about the annual MCV Retail Survey, so not only is it one that was guaranteed a prominent spot to begin with, it’s also not the same as discovering and nurturing my own scoop.
But I don’t care. It’s a step in the right direction. I’ve said on this very blog many times that news has often been my greatest failing, and over the last three or four months, I like to think I’ve improved considerably – now I have a cover story to (sort of) prove it.
With my own trumpet well and truly blown, check out this week’s issue yourself to see that I’m not making this up.

Nice one mate, it’s always nice when you can achieve stuff like that
Something that you can really shove in front of someones face and say ‘LOOK WHAT I DID!’
