The LGBTQ+ Journalism Network has been featured in the NCTJ careers guide.
The latest edition of the NCTJ’s careers guide aims to encourage people from a range of backgrounds to consider a career in journalism.
The guide, which is sponsored by the Financial Times, is sent to more than 3,700 secondary schools, colleges and job centres across the UK.
As well as highlighting the LGBTQ+ Journalism Network, the latest edition also features a section on journalism terms defined and using TikTok as a journalist.
Natalie Coleman, the NCTJ’s quality and standards manager, said: “We are sending out this guide to schools and colleges across the UK to let students know about the exciting prospect of studying on an NCTJ-accredited course, which will open the doors to their chosen journalism career.
“The guide features a whole host of NCTJ alumni and students, all of whom have come from a range of backgrounds and are setting out on the path to success in a whole range of careers in the media sector. They’ve done this because they have achieved – or are working towards achieving – the industry-standard Diploma in Journalism.
“Employability is a key feature of all our courses, which is why we want students to choose the right journalism course, which will give them both the cutting-edge and fundamental skills to succeed in the newsroom.”
