The Basingstoke Gazette has teamed up with the NCTJ’s Community News Project and has space for a trainee reporter to come and join the team. 

A community reporter will tell the stories that matter the most to local people. They will build and develop community networks in person and online, acting as the point of contact for applicable groups, engaging with them and seeking out journalistic content.

We’re looking for diverse, driven individuals with no prior journalism experience to join local newsrooms on a two-year, paid contract and work towards the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism.

More information can be found online at the NCTJ.
