Something interesting...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/jobs/workexperience/kickoff/

Could somebody make that link a global announcement. Basically it's a work experience thing to be a journalist for BBC sport, considering a lot of people on this forum are basically like amature journalists I thought it might interest people, it's for anybody over the age of 18. Could be good for somebody on here. Especially considering the amount of people in the Athletics and other sports sections.

Thanks.

Anybody able to do it?

Done

Cheers.

I'd recommend Red_Stag or MBTGOG

I think there a lot of people on this site who could do a very good job on this, and I am sure there are at least a few asprining journalists on the site and I would urge them to at least apply on the off chance they get. It could be a life changer!

Lol - they even remind you to get somebody to check the spelling of your answers before submitting them! Speaks volumes for BBC journalism.

......and for viewers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

Tough luck, as the BRITISH broadcasting company seem to only have vacancies in England.

Nae surprise there then

Welcome to our generation

Even so, it's still one of those oppurtunities that if it's your thing; you have to grasp.

Glas my brother is still in university and got a job in the sports section of a newspaper office here in Limerick. He worked unpaid for 8 MONTHS. Its how we have to do things nowadays

Red Stag

Less of the 'nowadays' please.
In the early 1960's my brother was training to be a surveyor and in his first year his weekly wage did not cover his bus fare home.
