Herald Trainee Program Finalist at the International News Media Association Awards

The program has been redesigned in 2022 to ensure we are building journalists of the future by embedding video and audio, visual storytelling, data journalism and explainer into their education. It is a finalist in the Best Innovation in Newsroom Transformation category, where the trainees’ work on a project entitled The Sydney We Don’t Talk About was featured.

“This nomination reflects the fantastic influence our five trainees have had on the editorial board,” he said herald Publisher Bevan Shields. “It’s also a great credit to Executive Editor Kathryn Wicks for skillfully guiding the project.
“Readers love Angus, Millie, Billie, Anthony and Angus, and so does everyone who works at herald. You are destined for extraordinary careers in journalism.”
