I look back on my time at News Associates so fondly. The tutors really ignited my love of journalism and made me feel like a career in national newspapers and magazines was within reach. They go above and beyond to help you hone your skills and instil you with confidence, which is just invaluable. I miss it! But I use so much of what I learned at NA every day, so it's never far away.
