putting together newspapers/magazines Explanation: A common childhood pastime "in some quarters." :-) My suggestion is deliberately informal, to suit your context. The link below is from SAOB, the source for this: "MAKERI , n.; numera bl. ss. senare led i ssgr -MAKERI -makeri⁴. l. ~makeri², resp. ~¹⁰⁴ l. ~¹⁰², n.; best. -iet, äv. -it; pl. -ier. [efter mnt. -makerije, till mnt. maken, göra (se MAKA, v.¹)] [MAKERI 0] utförande av visst arbete. [MAKERI .a] a) (enst., †) ss. enkelt ord, om handtvärksmässigt utfört andligt arbete. ALMQVIST Hind. 260 (1833). [MAKERI .b] b) ss. senare led i ssgr som motsvara ssgr med -MAKARE o. angiva den värksamhet l. rörelse som dylika yrkesmän bedriva l., konkret, den värkstad o. d. där yrket bedrives; äv. bildl., om den värksamhet som bedrives av personer som betecknas med ssgr med -MAKARE i bildl. anv.; jfr de under MAKARE 2 o. 3 anförda ssgrna."

journalism Explanation: alternatively: - reporting - the newspaper business -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2012-04-12 13:17:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Charles is right the term might need to be more informal, so if you decided to go with "journalism" or the like, you might want to rephrase it as e.g. "as a child I found the reporters' job exciting" or something like that.
