Dreaming of becoming a journalist?

The Young Journalists’ Academy is a programme for London state school pupils who have the passion and the guts, but not ‘the right contacts’, to break into journalism. We run a journalism summer school in Canary Wharf along with schemes like YJA in Schools, the YJA Graduates network and training for Journalism Ambassadors. On this site you can find out more about what we do and get some great tips and inspiration from YJA Graduates and professional journalists.
