Want to be mentored by experienced top journalists and learn how a newsroom works? This is your chance to Break Into News!
Maybe you shoot films with your friends at the weekends, you’re part of a local film club or blog about what you see on your screen. Maybe you’ve never created your own media but have a passion you’re keen to explore. If you’re 18-25-years-old with limited media or broadcasting experience, this is your chance to be mentored by top journalists and produce your own local news report.
Media Trust and ITV News have launched Breaking Into News 2014 to offer budding broadcast journalists the opportunity to learn writing, reporting and production skills. The scheme is specifically designed to support young people from across the country that wouldn’t normally be presented with this kind of opportunity.
To apply you will need to submit a short description about yourself and your background, an idea of what you’d like your report to focus on, and why you deserve the opportunity to ‘break into news’. The team isn’t looking for polished ideas, just a passion to tell a story on screen and enthusiasm to know how a newsroom works.
Apply here - closing date midday 21 February 2014
