- to be the first taste of sth : to have first experience of sth, to do it first time
- press (new word) ~ media : tv, newspaper, magazine, radio , website ...
the newspaper was just a piece of paper on which I'd written my stories and drew my pictures, but it was my first taste of the power of the press.

- copy (~ text) editor : person whose job is to review what other has written, maybe improve by making small changes
I worked on the university newspaper and started out as a copy editor, editing stories and writing headlines.
- to cover : to research, investigate into particular topic
-  byline : the line in newspaper saying who wrote this story
Then, I began to cover news events
, getting my first bylines
- to be in print: to be published in public document like books, magazine, newspaper
I can't tell you how excited I was to see my name in print for the first time!
- to shoot for sth: to try to do / get sth difficult
You never know in the newspaper business, but I'm shooting for a Pulitzer!
