How did you get there?
A common question journalists are asked by young people trying to make their way in the industry is how did you do it? Of course, everyone's story is different, but the more we tell these stories, the more accessible and less daunting the journey might seem.
As part of the Guardian’s 200th anniversary, we collaborated with well-known journalists to offer a series of free journalism and multimedia masterclasses for young people aged 16-21 from a diverse range of backgrounds that are underrepresented in the media. We worked with more than 30 youth organisations and charities across the UK to offer this opportunity.
140 young people attended the interactive sessions which aimed to equip them with insights, tips and resources to kick start their future journalism and media careers.
