Jon Slattery has a good round-up of yesterday’s Unleashing Aspiration – The Final Report of the Panel on Fair Access to the Professions report released by the UK government yesterday.
The report, which looked at the background and educational history of those entering professions including journalism,found that 98 per cent of entrants to journalism had a degree or post-graduate qualification.
It made 88 recommendations to government, including a system for identifying high quality internships and open advertising of such placements.
