We work every day to make it easier for early career journalists, especially from underrepresented backgrounds, to break into journalism. A media that reflects the audiences it serves is important for democracy and society.

If you're a journalist, or you value a free press, please consider a donation to the amazing @johnschofieldtrust.bsky.social which works hard to make newsrooms reflect the audiences they serve by supporting upcoming journalists from less well-connected backgrounds with mentors.

The donation goes to the very good cause of @johnschofieldtrust.bsky.social to help early career journalists.
Killing journalists is a war crime.
