Description
Are you struggling to find work experience as a journalism student or graduate? In this live session we will introduce you to our Journalism Work Experience Initiative.
Freelancing for Journalists is linking people seeking media experience with freelance journalists who are able to offer work experience and mentoring on a remote basis. Learn from experienced journalists how to research, interview, write and promote content by signing up to the scheme and taking part in this online briefing.
In the webinar Freelancing for Journalists directors Lily Canter and Emma Wilkinson will give advice on:
- How to find work experience opportunities outside the newsroom
- How to participate in the Journalism Work Experience Initiative
- How to work alongside freelance journalists
- How to contact freelance journalists on the database
- How to make the most of your work experience opportunity
At the end of the webinar you will be given access to the private database of work experience opportunities across the UK and beyond.
Please note if you are unable to attend the webinar but would still like to sign up for the Journalism Work Experience Initiative then you must purchase a ticket. You will be sent a recording of the webinar briefing and details of how to access the database.
