Journo Resources

🚨 Could you help fund a journalism fellow on our 2024/25 scheme? 🗞️ We’ve received almost double the number of applications compared to last year, showing an incredible demand for early-career support. Thanks to our brilliant sponsors — Newsworks, The Printing Charity, Association of British Science Writers, and Women In Journalism — we are currently able to support 10 fellows through 1-2-1 mentoring, training & workshops, a paid commission, and professional editorial support. Following the volume of high-standard applications we received, we would really like to raise the funds to sponsor at least two more fellows, so would love to hear from any potential corporate sponsors. It costs just £650 to support a fellow and to help them take their first steps into the industry. From last year’s scheme alone, 80% of our fellows have since secured further paid work, and since 2020 — when the fellowship began — the 30+ fellows we’ve supported have gone onto work for organisations including The Financial Times, The Guardian, Positive News, Newsquest, and Estates Gazette. If you or anybody you know might be able to help, please email jem@journoresources.org.uk 📧 📣 And please do repost to help spread the word. Thank you!

⬇️ One of our brilliant fellows is writing a feature on the marginalisation of regional accents across broadcast media. Journalists, if you can, please do take a few minutes to answer the Google Form to help with Megan’s research.
