Title: College of Journalism
Post by Administrator on Jun 19^th, 2013, 8:55am

This is from the latest "Ariel":-

"College of Journalism faces funding shortfall."

Now under the BBC Academy umbrella, the College of Journalism has made cuts of 35% in the last two and a half years. Thirteen posts have been made redundant, which means it now functions with about 40 staff on a mixture of full-time and part-time contracts.

The College is responsible for training the BBC's 8000 journalists in traditional craft skills and legal basics, but it also runs a compulsory one-week course for new joiners to News.
