Email Now or Wait 'Til Next Week?

Hi,

As I've said, I've been pestering the news editor of my local radio station for work experience for some time now. After sending several emails, I called him yesterday to chase things up. When I spoke to him he said; "I'm planning the rota now. I'll email you some dates to come in & let me know if they're convenient." That was yesterday lunchtime & I've received nothing yet. Am I wrong to have assumed I would've received them yesterday, considering that he said he was planning the rota at the time we spoke?

I don't know if I should call him now to query it or sit tight & wait.

I'm not as familiar with the workings of radio as I am with print & he's so far proved to be difficult to get hold of. I'll appreciate opinions.

Give it time, persistence is a virtue, but news editors, in broadcast as in print, are busy. Just till Monday. Afternoon, I'd say. Good luck, whatever you decide to do.
