Press Cadets

By Press Gazette

Looking for a first break in journalism?

Want to show the entire profession just how good you are?

Press
Gazette, in association with National Lottery operator, Camelot, is
looking for two journalists to join us as trainees on a 12-month
contract.

Do you want to be one of ten Press Cadets given a
chance to pit their journalistic talents against each other in a series
of tasks?

In order to be considered, you might be a school leaver
or a graduate – but in both cases you will have to demonstrate that you
have what it takes to be a journalist and a proven interest in your
chosen career.

You might have a degree or any other academic
qualification in journalism – undergraduate, postgraduates and
candidates with other specific qualifications in journalism are also
encouraged to apply.

From the initial applications, ten Press
Cadets will be chosen to carry out a set of tasks set by high-profile
editors to test their journalism skills over a period of four weeks.
Only the best will survive to take the following week’s assignment,
until just two remain.
