The Young Reporter Scheme

07/01/2025

Happy New Year!

We're back open and recruiting schools to sign up for our Short Course. This is a fantastic course for students to be able to write for a real newspaper and gain a byline, which is great for a CV or UCAS application.

Even if students are not interested in a career in the media, the course will teach them to stick to inflexible deadlines, hone their writing skills and boost their confidence by encouraging them to get out into their community and report about local news.

They will also receive a letter of recognition at the end of the course if they meet their deadlines.

Registration is open until Friday 17 January and please fill in a registration form if you are keen to find out more - youngreporter.co.uk/registration
