Journalist Works is Brighton’s only independent journalism training company.

We work in partnership with The Argus, Brighton's regional daily newspaper, and train our students in their HQ, so trainees see the news operation first hand.

Our courses are for people looking to start careers in journalism and for the professional development of those already working in the industry.
