News Corp Australia has opened the next intake of its national cadet program.
The 12-month paid program starting July offers the next generation of journalists the opportunity to spend time in a range of newsrooms, including national, metropolitan, regional and broadcasting placements, and special projects.
The 30 cadets will receive comprehensive training in multi-platform reporting, from grassroots community reporting to new and specialist areas of interest.
This includes journalism's core skills, as well as video, audio and rich media.
National weekend editor and chair of the News Corp Australia editorial board Mick Carroll said: “Our national program has been designed to provide cadets with the experience and confidence needed to kick-start their careers.
“From visual storytelling to reporting fundamentals such as breaking news and finding the human interest stories that matter, they will be equipped with the skills they need to deepen their ability to keep the public informed in our digital era.
“It’s a fantastic program and I’m pleased to say that many of our most recent intake of cadets have now accepted full-time jobs and are working in our newsrooms around the country."
Applications close Tuesday, April 4.
