JOURNALISM TRAINING: NEWS BRIEFING

Trainee scoops Blair interview

A TRAINEE journalist pulled off a great old fashioned scoop when he got an interview with former Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Mirror Group trainee Tom McTague, 24, who is studying at the Press Association training centre in Newcastle, made the front page of the Evening Chronicle with his exclusive interview.

A new-look for your title?

Is your paper up to date – or is it looking a little jaded? How do you fare against the competition on the news-stand? Is your typography modern and readable? Does your titlepiece reflect the brand you are trying to sell – or is it from another time and place? Do you have a colour palette that works? You might be surprised by the difference a professional redesign can make. For more information

The Editor's Chair

Are your editorial executives trained to deal with the pressures of running a modern multimedia newsroom?
Can they balance their strategic, commercial, creative roles and still look after the motivation and management of their staff?
Editing today is more challenging than ever before and Press Association Training can help.
We have places left on our high-powered editor's chair course which is being held in London from April 21-25.
This course is aimed at the editorial executive of the present and the future.
Each delegate will tackle our famous in-tray exercise of 25 real issues which have landed on the editor's desk.
There are also sessions, from acknowledged specialists, running an effective multimedia newsroom, man-management, leadership, drawing up an editorial strategy, managing change, market research, budgeting, employment law, graphics, design, communication skills and public speaking.
Many of today's newspaper editors have passed through this course.
The course is suitable for heads of departments, assistant editors, deputy editors and recently appointed editors. Delegates, other than working editors, should be nominated by their editor.

If you would like to make a booking contact Lorna Chaproniere or Pam Sands on 01424 858123 or on training@pa-training.co.uk.
