There was a job advertised once for a journalist for Ceefax in the Gruaniad, before I switched to reading Global Warming Today, and despite my lack of journalistic experience or training, with the aid of BBC Basic for Windows' Mode 7 emulation mode, started to write my CV and a covering letter in the manner and format of Ceefax pages. However, as usual my indolence got the better of me, and also because I wouldn't have wanted the job anyway if they were misguided enough to interview me, I didn't bother finishing it.
Also, reducing news stories to 17 lines of 39 characters with one line gaps between paragraphs is harder than it looks.
