Media Connections 2007, run by the Voluntary Action Media Unit in partnership with
the Media Trust, is offering 20 charity staff who liaise with the media the chance
to spend one or two weeks working alongside journalists and producers at major media
organisations such as the BBC, ITV and The Independent.
The awards are designed 
to help improve the skills and effectiveness of charity PR staff and to provide 
them with valuable contacts.

Media organisations that took part last year included BBC, Sky, ITV, ITN, The Financial
Times, The Independent and a range of women’s magazines, regional newspapers and
local radio.

The closing date for entries is midnight on 2 April 2007.
