Young journalists invited to apply for Olympic opportunity

Young journalists and journalism students are being invited to apply for a scheme which could see them cover the Youth Olympic Games in Argentina.

The International Olympic Committee will select four young reporters from across Europe to train during the games, which will be held in Buenos Aires next year.

The winning candidates will receive press accreditation for the event, and will train in the main press centre with all other accredited media, receive specialised and intensive media training from senior Olympic journalists.

The IOC will cover the cost of economy airfares, all meals, twin-share hotel accommodation and full tuition.

To qualify, candidates must be aged between 18 and 24 on 30 September 2018, as well as being students of journalism at college or working reporters.

Anyone interested in applying should contact the British Olympic Association.
