I have spent the last few weeks running the training scheme for 11 bright young journalists at MailOnline. The company has now decided to introduce another course, starting in October.
Trainees will embark on a two-year-long programme that involves intense training, assessment and on-the-job experience.
We are looking for journalists with broad interests who want to work for the world’s biggest English-language newspaper website.
Trainees will need to be prepared to work for a round-the-clock operation. There will be nightshifts, regular weekends and you will be covering national and international news at a fast pace. The successful applicants will probably have a journalism degree or have shown a commitment to journalism by writing for their student newspaper/website and gained work experience in newsrooms.
The course starts with an intensive in-house training month during which trainees are introduced to Mail style and culture before followed by a regional placement before joining the MailOnline newsroom in London. Trainees will be on the best journalism course in the business and paid a competitive salary while they train. Following the two years, there will be an opportunity to apply for a secondment to the New York or Sydney office.
To apply please send a covering letter, your CV and the three best examples of your work to sue.ryan@dailymail.co.uk by Friday April 8. Please put your name and London in the subject.
