Future News Worldwide is a partnership programme between the British Council and some of the world’s leading media organisations like Google, Facebook, Reuters, and the Herald, envisioned as an international summit for the world’s best young media makers.
Each year we bring together 100 of the world’s most talented, motivated and passionate young journalists to attend an intensive media training programme. Participants receive exclusive coaching from world-leading editors, broadcasters, writers and reporters, and see how publishers around the world are using technology to find stories and bring them to life like never before.
Applications are now open for Future News Worldwide 2021. Under the theme ‘Climate, COVID-19 and the rise of disinformation: how journalism can best serve a world in crisis’, the conference will offer a rich and packed programme for the next generation of newsmakers and content creators.
The opportunity is available to undergraduate and postgraduate students from any country who are between 18-25 years old as of 1 July 2021. Applicants should be able to speak English at an advanced level and need to demonstrate passion about following a career in journalism.
