In memory of the ITV News Reporter Terry Lloyd, ITN and the NUJ sponsor an annual bursary to allow a journalist to spend six weeks within the ITV News department at ITN.
You must have at least four to six years hands-on knowledge of the industry. You don't need to be a reporter but you will need to have a reasonable broadcast voice, a good understanding of reporting and an understanding of what makes a good TV news package.
This scheme is aimed at those who have a good grounding in journalism gained from grass routes (sic) experience. Applications are welcomed from NUJ members with a TV, print or News Agency background. Unfortunately we cannot accept applications from people at the BBC, ITN or Sky News.
The successful candidate will be given six weeks experience and training at ITN. Applications should consist of a full CV and a covering letter outlining why you should be the successful candidate. You should also submit a proposal for a three-minute report for ITV news. The proposal should be no more than 2 sides of A4 and outline the story, its news value, relevance to the ITV news audience, the way you would tell the story and an overview of the logistics and costs of covering such a story. The story idea can be related to either a home or foreign issue.
All applications to Laurie Carrington, ITN, Human Resources Department, 200 Grays Inn Road, London, WC1X 8XZ quoting reference BUR - 05.
