Newsquest’s Young Reporter Scheme saw hundreds of students send through their articles, eager to be included as one of this year’s winners.
It is a huge accolade to win as the scheme can be a tough programme to manage alongside schoolwork and other activities.
All those who complete the programme earn a certificate, an impressive achievement for them to add to their CV and UCAS applications.
This scheme has had enormous successes over the years with students moving not only into prestigious media jobs but also into an array of different career opportunities.
Henry Faure Walker, Chief Executive of Newsquest Media Group, said: “As the leading local news publisher in the UK, Newsquest is delighted to support the Young Reporter Scheme.
“It provides a great taster of the world of journalism, and many of the participants have gone onto to get full time jobs with us once they leave School or University.”
Today, we open the portal for the coming academic year and schools and students interested in joining this unique and exciting scheme, need to register their interest on the Young Reporter website to take advantage of our early bird pricing.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
