Hi everyone,

This looks great  - and is being run by a CfJ student!

Recruitment for the next round of BBC Apprentices (Journalism and Production) begins soon.  Take a look and ask any of us for advice; also ask the newest recruits to the BBC Journalism Senior Apprenticeship scheme when they are with us next week and later in the year: https://www.bbc.co.uk/careers/trainee-schemes-and-apprenticeships

We are delighted to welcome back award-winning journalist and author Dhruti Shah, who recently became an Honorary Fellow (Practictioner) at the Centre for Journalism after a long career at the BBC and in local newspaper journalism.  Dhruti is an expert in sourcing and verifying stories via social media among other things, and has been at the heart of many big stories. She was on duty the night of the storming of the Capitol building in Washington last year.  

This is an interesting article from Press Gazette about the growth of news on Instagram and why the BBC is currently not on Tiktok. 

 This one about trust in the media, also from Press Gazette, is worth a look too.
