Leadership for journalists

Introducing a training programme which aims to develop journalists and strengthen the quality of leadership across the industry.

The NCTJ’s leadership programme is created by journalists for journalists, taking widely-used leadership principles and theory and applying them to a content-driven environment.

It is aimed at supporting early-career and established leaders and reflecting the unique day-to-day challenges within a busy, deadline-driven media organisation.

The programme provides learning on essential tools to juggle those challenges and will shine a spotlight on many different complex subjects – from diversity and inclusion to workplace wellbeing to motivating and developing the team.

The leadership training is delivered in a variety of ways through the NCTJ’s Journalism Skills Academy:

  • Join virtual leadership training in ‘masterclass’ and ‘lunch and learn’ formats focusing on a range of topics
  • Enrol on the NCTJ’s Level 7 Leadership and Management for Journalists qualification via distance learning
  • Partner with the NCTJ’s Journalism Skills Academy to deliver bespoke in-house leadership training for your team

It was great to attend the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) lunch and learn session on Imposter syndrome to find out more about how it can impact us at work. The workshop was a glimpse into what we could do to recognise our own feelings and support those around us. It provided tips and tricks that I’ll be sharing with my team.
