Professor Heather Brooke, pathway leader for MA Investigative Journalism at City, said that the scholarship stemmed from the “danger journalism could become a profession only for those who can afford university tuition”.
“More than ever we need thorough and professional investigative journalism about matters of public importance which is why I’m delighted we can now offer this fantastic scholarship to a student of merit who needs financial help.”
Applicants must apply by 21 August by emailing Prof Brooke at journalism@city.ac.uk.
