Journalism can’t be taught from a textbook – you have to get out there and do it. We’re part of one of the UK’s busiest press agencies, meaning we can draw on the skills and experiences of their editors, journalists and broadcast specialists. Our practical approach is one of the many reasons we won the NCTJ award for innovation of the year 2020! https://newsassociates.co.uk/innovation-of-the-year-news-associates-nctj-awards-for-excellence/ Interested?
