Case studies

Trainees with big publishing houses receive structured training in reporting, writing, proofreading, sub-editing, layout and design, production, and law for journalists. Smaller organisations that recruit directly may not be able to provide such opportunities.

The Periodicals Training Council (PTC) is the training arm of the Professional Publishers Association (PPA)  and has a list of accredited training courses on its website.

Courses run by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) , throughout the country and online, are well recognised in the industry. The NCTJ accredits courses at nearly 40 colleges and universities across the country. The focus remains on newspaper journalism, but there are many more multimedia courses reflecting industry and societal changes in recent years.
