Please note that this role is only open to students who are members of the Student Publication Association and who are attending the 2025 conference in Exeter. This is part of our annual opportunities scheme for students who attend the conference and is only open to members of the SPA.
Are you coming to #SPANC25? Would you like to get paid to write pieces and record videos about the conference, which will be published on the UK’s leading journalism advice website?
Journo Resources is looking for up to two student journalists to work on conference coverage, contributing pieces to our ‘A Day in the Life’ section and filming your experience at the conference. You’ll be paid £180 per day of agreed conference coverage.
This is also a great chance to network more closely with speakers at the conference. Previous delegates have interviewed:
* Hugh Pym (BBC health editor);
* Rianna Croxford (investigations correspondent at BBC News);
* Lukanyo Mnyanda (correspondent at the Financial Times);
* Ruth David (London bureau chief at Bloomberg);
* Helena Horton (environment reporter atThe Guardian);
* Jess Brammar (former editor of HuffPost UK);
* Plus many more!
What You’ll Do:
* Speak with our editors before the conference to identify 2–4 speakers on one day that you might like to speak to;
* Outreach to these journalists in the run-up to the conference to arrange an interview;
* Conduct short 15–20 minute interviews with them at the conference, film the interviews, and send through your copy and videos. We’ll help you with a suggested interview structure and questions if needed.
* Film clips of your experience at the conference.
What You’ll Get:
* You’ll be paid our standard day rate of £180 for your work, as agreed beforehand, and paid via invoice when you submit your transcripts and video.
* All pieces will be published on Jouno Resources, under your byline.
* A full reference for any future job applications, if required.
To Apply
Please send a short note to hello@journoresources.org.uk by 11.59pm on Sunday, March 23, explaining:
* Who you are and which student publication you currently write for;
* Why you’d like to write for us and how it could help your career;
* Links to up to three stories you are proud of writing and one link to an Instagram Reel/ TikTok that you feel proud of. Please don’t worry if you don’t have three — this is just a maximum!
We aim to give feedback to all applicants, but please be aware this might take us a little while.
