Trainee digital storytellers: Have you got what it takes to work for the globe’s biggest newspaper website? 

For years MailOnline has recruited some of the brightest journalism trainees in the UK, America and Australia. We are now extending the scheme to include Metro.co.uk and we are seeking trainees with a hunger and aptitude for digital storytelling. We are looking for talented people who are good wordsmiths but who also understand, or are willing to learn, different ways of telling stories to a younger and interactive audience. You may already be vlogging, publishing pictures and video, using social media on various platforms, using vines and gifs and Snapchatting, Instagramming, Pinning and Tumblring. You will certainly be creative, imaginative and energetic with a passion for storytelling and big ideas on how new audiences will be best served now and in the future. If you have an understanding of data journalism, shooting and editing video, slideshows, pop-up captions, social media platforms, interactive graphics or coding we will develop your skills so that you can use them at a professional and international level. You’ll be on the best journalism course in the business and be paid a competitive salary while you train. To apply send the following to sue.ryan@dailymail.co.uk by Friday April 1:
