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 Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
