Editors Weblog: Dutch government to finance 60 jobs for young journalists
December 9th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Jobs, Newspapers
The Dutch government is to finance a €4 million plan to support 60 young journalists across 30 press titles in the country.
The scheme will offer two-year contracts to young journalists (though an age range is not specified in the report) to encourage a new generation of journalists and innovation in the industry.
The contracts will be made with publishers and not the government; and the scheme will not result in job cuts amongst older journalists, the report says.
