The UK-based Academy for Disabled Journalists is facing the threat of closure due to lack of funding.

Founded by Grant Logan of Ability Today CIC, the Academy has trained over 100 disabled students in partnership with the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) since its launch in 2020, equipping them with the skills necessary to pursue successful careers in journalism.

Many of these students have secured positions at major media outlets, including the BBC, ITV, and Newsquest. However, rising costs and the need to keep student contributions low have forced the postponement of their upcoming Diploma Course, casting uncertainty over the future of the Academy.
