After going through the question we can deduce the following points from each clue:
1.) From clue 1 we can deduce the following points: (Assuming you have read the clue)
a.) Brian goes for his vacation on 24th of June and his vacation ends on 7th July.
b.) And the person working as the editorial staff writer hisher vacation begins on 7th June.
2.) a.) Idwell's vacation doesn't begin on 7th.
b.) Since from point (1 b.) Idwell is not an editorial staff writer.
3.) From clue 3 we can deduce that:
a.) The reporter working for Herald goes on vacation on either of the 4 following i.e. 14, 16,21, this is because the person working as the sports reporter and Winston were not seen by the reporter working for the Herald.
b.) Kramer goes on a vacation after the Herald reporter, thus Kramer starts his vacation on 16th,21st, or 24th.
4.) a.) Zarler's vacation begins on a date such that last 4 days of vacation are 1st four days the Times employee, and this possible only when Zarler goes on his vacation on 14th and Times employee on 24th.
b.) Considering point 1.a and 4.a we can say that Brian works for Times.
c)Delores vacation begins on 7th.(since his vacation begins more than a week prior to that of Zarler's).
Till now what points we have deduced are
5.) Vacation of news employee and political reporter ends before column writer.
a.) news employee and political reporter go for vacation 7th or 10th and column writer on 24th , therefore brian is the column writer, political reporter goes for vacation on 10th since editorial staff guy delore goes on vacation on 7th.
6.) Lindbergh doesn't work as a reporter, thus he is either a advice column writer or rewrite staff since Delore works as the editorial staff writer. And he doesn't work for news.
7.) Vincent isn't a general news reporter, underwood doesn't work for news or clarion.
