Leadership for journalists

Introducing a programme which aims to develop journalists and strengthen the quality of leadership across the industry

The NCTJ’s leadership programme is created by journalists for journalists, taking widely-used leadership principles and theory and applying them to an editorial or content-driven environment.

It is aimed at supporting early-career and established leaders and reflecting the unique day-to-day challenges within a busy, deadline-driven media organisation. It will provide learning on essential tools to juggle those challenges and will shine a spotlight on complex subjects including resilience, people management and confidence-building.

Join our exclusive training sessions which include bite-sized lunch and learn sessions and more in-depth masterclasses on a wide range of topics.

It was great to attend the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) lunch and learn session on Imposter syndrome to find out more about how it can impact us at work. The workshop was a glimpse into what we could do to recognise our own feelings and support those around us. It provided tips and tricks that I’ll be sharing with my team.
