Eurovision News Young Journalists Exchange Programme

Eurovision News Young Journalists Exchange Programme

Overview

The Eurovision News Young Journalists Exchange Programme aims to provide hands-on learning and inspiration for those working in Public Service Media newsrooms who are under 30.

Run in collaboration with EBU Academy, this is a chance for young journalists to spend a week in the newsroom of another EBU Member to learn how they work and what they do.

This is not a passive experience; you’ll be an active part of your host’s news team during your stay - doing as well as learning - and they’ll also benefit from your ideas and skillsets.

What a visiting journalist can expect to learn:

  • Different ways of working day to day.
  • New systems and tools.
  • How common journalistic challenges are being met in another country.
  • New ideas and inspirations.

How a host newsroom can benefit:

  • New outlooks, experiences and skillsets for the newsroom.
  • An opportunity to receive feedback.
  • A chance to reflect on how you work.
  • New ideas and inspirations.

Who can apply and how:

The Eurovision News Young Journalists Exchange Programme will return during March 2025, and we are now accepting applications from professionals under 30 who would like to take part and from news editors interested in becoming hosts. Please register your interest using the enroll button on the right. The deadline is Friday, February 14, 2025.

Important:

If you are selected as one of our visiting young journalists, your organization is responsible for paying for your accommodation, travel and any other expenses. These are not covered by hosting EBU Members. You must have the approval of your line manager before you apply.

There are limited places available for exchanges, so please accept our apologies in advance if you are not selected in this round. We would encourage you to reapply for future rounds. Offers of host newsrooms will be kept on file for future months.
