Some 40 candidates out of 59 sitting the National Qualification in Journalism made the grade as senior reporters and achieved a pass after the November set of exams.
It was the lowest ever number to sit the NQJ (formerly called the NCE) reflecting a contraction in the regional newspaper industry.
In 2005/2006 some 535 reporters took the NCTJ senior journalist qualification.
In 2015/2016 the number taking this test fell to 216.
To pass the NQJ candidates must be successful in all four sections: interview, media law and practice, logbook and news report.
Chief examiner Steve Nelson said: “The low entry probably reflects the shrinking newspaper industry. However, it is expected that the number of candidates will show a small rise for the next sitting in March.
“The November sitting is always that bit more special for those candidates who achieve a pass because it makes for a fantastic early Christmas present.”
