Journo Resources is delighted to formally launch our new institution membership scheme, ahead of the 2023/24 academic year. Designed to help those breaking into the journalism industry grow their employability and confidence, it allows universities and short-course providers to access member resources at a reduced rate, as well as bolster their own course marketing.
As one of the UK’s leading online resources for journalists, we’re experts at creating resources that actually help journalists, with tens of thousands of people using our tools every single week.
Students on signed-up courses will be able to access all of our online masterclasses and workshops, our members’ community forum, and get free licenses for our brand-new JR Transcribe software. Other benefits include bespoke training sessions for each course, twice-weekly online co-working, and copies of our annual workbook/magazine.
Course providers will also be able to display an accreditation badge on their own marketing, as well as get discounts on our marketing and promotion services.
Jem Collins, director of Journo Resources, says: “Over the past few years we’ve had a lot of inquiries from universities about how they could set up memberships for their students — but we’ve always wanted to take our time and make sure we developed a membership structure that would be of real benefit to those breaking into the industry.
“We’re really proud of the offering we’ve put together — we’re focused on helping everyone to build community and connections, as well as key journalism skills for a changing media landscape.”
