Journalism careers guide

Do you want to be a journalist? Our journalism careers guide is packed full of information, tips and advice on how to get into one of the most exciting careers around.

Sponsored by the Financial Times, our journalism careers guide is sent to secondary schools and colleges across the UK.

Find out about the different training routes available and hear from alumni about the different paths they took into successful careers.

The guide also features easy-to-navigate listings of all NCTJ-accredited courses, which are a cut above the rest.

Our cover star this year is Amrit Singh Mann, who works as a journalist at Sky News and is now an NCTJ ambassador. Amrit completed his diploma as part of his apprenticeship with Sky News and PA Media Academy.
