Which newspaper companies take on people for work experience in england?
Most do, although with increasing Health and Safety legislation as well as concerns over public liability insurance, many now apply restrictions (most commonly only taking candidates who are 18+). If you’re looking for work experience, it’s worth asking a few local papers as that can be a great chance to experience life on the front line of reporting… you may get assigned dull stories at first, but it’s a great way to get a grounding in interviewing people without the pressure of having to ask all the right questions first time. The national press also take work experience, and there’s certainly no harm in applying, but don’t be under any illusions – it’s ridiculously competitive and they’re only likely to take on candidates who can demonstrate a serious commitment to a career in the industry.
