FORMER Malvern College student Jo Lafferty has joined the Malvern Gazette & Ledbury Reporter as a trainee reporter.
The 24-year-old did a work experience placement with the newspaper last summer after graduating from St Andrew's University with a degree in English Language and Literature.
Jo has lived in the area all her life, first in Cradley and now in Malvern, and said she was pleased to be staying in Malvern, as she loved the hills and living in the countryside.
"I'm very excited about working at the Malvern Gazette permanently," she said.
"I really enjoyed doing work experience here, so applying for the job was definitely the right thing to do."
She replaces Ally Hardy, who has been promoted to news editor, having been with the Gazette & Reporter since August 2001.
