News of the World scholarship
The News of the World is delighted to announce its 2008 Graduate Scholarship in journalism.
If
you’ve always wanted to train and work on a newspaper at the highest
level, this is your chance. The winner of our scholarship will receive
the most comprehensive training in our industry.
Students from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
All
we ask is that you have a university degree (or equivalent
qualification) or be in the final year of a degree course. Of course,
you must also be able to demonstrate a passion for the News of the
World.
Our scholarship, run in
conjunction with The Journalism Centre at Harlow College in Essex,
lasts for two years during which our successful candidate will receive
a salary. The News of the World will also pay tuition fees at Harlow
College.
This is how the two years will be broken up:
September 2008 - Feb 2009
Our
successful applicant will attend the 19-week postgraduate course at
Harlow College’s Journalism Centre. This is an intensive,
all-encompassing course providing a solid foundation on which to build
and develop your journalistic talents. During the course you’ll spend
all your available free time (apart from your holiday entitlement) at
the News of the World. Working in various departments, you’ll cover
everything from a Premiership match to major political and showbiz
stories.
Feb 2009 - September 2010
You’ll
gain experience of every relevant department in the News of the World.
Apart from working on our news, features, picture and sports desks –
plus Sunday magazine and our website – you will look at the work of our
circulation, marketing, production and advertising departments. You may
also spend time at the News of the World’s Scottish or Irish offices.
