Want to be a journalist? Download Press Gazette’s free guide to journalism training

By Dominic Ponsford1

The new Press Gazette Journalism Training Supplement is now available for free online and provides an essential guide to anyone considering a career in journalism.

In it, award-winning young journalists explain how they got their break (it is seldom down to luck) and top editors at PA, Trinity Mirror, Thomson Reuters, Emap, the Daily Mail and Reed Business Information give insider advice to aspiring journalists.

We also provide a guide to the acronym soup of journalism training bodies: the NCTJ, PTC and BJTC. And provide a comprehensive directory of journalism courses.

There is also a guide to how much training costs and possible sources of funding.

The Press Gazette Journalism Training Supplement should be available at every university careers library in the UK. And it is also being posted to careers advisors at nearly every UK sixth-form college.

But it is also available to download via this link: Press Gazette Journalism Training Supplement.
