Journalism diversity fund recipients win coveted places on BBC journalism training scheme

Two Journalism Diversity Fund recipients have fought off fierce competition from over 4,500 applicants to win two of just fourteen places on the prestigious BBC Journalism Trainee Scheme.

Sophie Mei Lan Slack, who completed a PgDip in journalism at University of Salford, and Megan Bramall, who studied on a fast-track course at News Associates, Manchester, will join the year-long paid training scheme in September.
