For those of you interested in broadcast journalism (and specifically news), the BBC have launched their work experience scheme at Media City in Salford. These kinds of opportunities are always hugely competitive, so allow yourself some time to put together a really strong application.

Here are some key links to placements being advertised now (deadlines 14 April; placement in May):

• News placement
• Newsround placement
• TV current affairs placement

NB: If you reach this post after April 2013 just go to the BBC work experience pages and search for relevant placements there.
