The Reuters Journalism Trainee Programme

will bring together a talented group of journalists and journalists-to-be from around the world and

provide them nine months of intensive classroom training and hands-on, real-world experience in

London, New York and Singapore.

Trainees will be paid during the programme. Those who meet the rigorous standards will be offered

staff positions. And they’ll be assigned mentors to help guide their career with Reuters.

REUTERS, THE WORLD’S LARGEST INTERNATIONAL MULTIMEDIA NEWS AGENCY, IS INVESTING IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF JOURNALISTS — SMART, INNOVATIVE PEOPLE, PASSIONATE ABOUT COVERING AND UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD.

At a time when others are shrink-

ing, Reuters is re-investing in its

journalists, with a renewed

emphasis on analytical, insightful

and investigative reporting. We're

global, with nearly 3,000 journal-

ists in 200 bureaus, delivering text,

photography, video, graphics and

multimedia. We cover world events

and issues, financial markets and

business, professional industries

and organisations.

We’re looking for people who are

committed to journalism and its future.

You don’t have to be a journalist, but

you need to convince us you’re serious

about becoming one.

We want people with a passion for

business and international news and

are interested in working globally. You

can be a recent graduate, a working

journalist, or someone with a specialist

background—law, medicine, computer

science, accounting, etc—who wants

to start a new career.

Fluency in English—and the ability to

write well and quickly—is a must.

Advanced language skills—in Arabic,

Mandarin, Russian, for example—are

a plus. Expertise in data analysis and

programming is an advantage.

Multimedia experience will give you

an edge, too.

With Reuters I’ve travelled the world, met

interesting, admirable and terrifying people, and

written about tragedies, triumphs and the

stranger sides of life. Working in London, Madrid,

Beijing and now Kabul, I have interviewed people

ranging from the Dalai Lama to David Beckham.

In 20 years I have reported from more than

20 countries, covering everything from

Hurricane Katrina to the Asian Tsunami and

the Balkans conflict. Having a front row seat

on so much of history is an astonishing

privilege. What’s more, I am paid to do it.
