Good opportunity that.
If I wasn't off to uni (incedentally do get that NCTJ qualification) I'd have applied for it.

Surely you wouldn't get it on the grounds that you don't have the qualification? |

Not necessarily. The NCTJ qualification isn't a degree, it's a bonus most universities offer in addition to their journalism degrees. It takes a year to complete (iirm from the uni open day) and is beneficial in terms of writing in shorthand and reporting techniques. If I were to apply, I'd obviously bet on myself not getting the job. But, in theory, I could, in an apprentice-style role, take the NCTJ qualification whilst learning in the field of journalism. And before anyone says, I appreciate they're probably after a more experienced candidate and not an apprentice, merely pointing out what could theoretically happen. |

Surely that makes him an ideal candidate for the Advertiser? |

Remember Adver Journalism Rule #8: "An interviewee will never say anything. They will generally "insist" even if this may not fit the tone of the piece, but on occasion they may be allowed to "admit" something bloody obvious e.g "Paolo Di Canio admitted that he was disappointed to lose the game". "

Without an NCTJ qualification you'll be lucky to get anywhere... I tried, and best I managed was a very small time hack job with the Hereford Times. When I say small time, I was writing about stories so un-newsworthy half the time they didn't make the paper. The prospects in journalism are appalling, and with the rise of the Internet and blogging, magazine and newspaper circulation is forever on the decline. I gave up my dream of being a Sports Journalist for Insurance... Bugger  |

I spent 20 years in the regional/local press here in the Midlands and confirm the industry is dying on its arse and managed to get out three years ago...In the last five years I have seen countless reporters, subs and even Editors all leave the industry due to redundancies. The prospects are appalling and the starting salaries for reporters are laughable with the large publishers (Trinity and Northcliffe) centralising offices due to the dramatic fall in sales and advertising revenue..
