They will join the existing directors Kim Fletcher (chairman), Joanne Butcher (chief executive), Peter Cole (vice chairman), Jan Lever, Liz Page, Alan Rusbridger, Bob Satchwell and Malcolm Vickers.
Speaking of the new appointments Kim Fletcher said: "We are fortunate that five such well-respected and high achieving industry figures have accepted our invitation to the join the board of the NCTJ. They bring with them an extraordinary breadth and depth of experience and interests. I look forward to working with them and all our directors, staff and supporters to move the Council to the next stage of its development and to maintain our on-going commitment to professionalism and innovation in journalism training and qualifications."
