The Media Trust is offering charity media staff the chance to experience work at
top media organisations. Its Media Connections 2008 scheme provides free placements
at organisations such as regional, local and national newspapers, the BBC, ITN and
ITV and even Heat magazine.

Applicants must already work for a UK charity or voluntary sector organisation and
have some media relations experience. Successful applicants will shadow experienced
journalists and producers and gain an understanding of why some stories are considered
newsworthy and how editorial ideas are developed.
