Three trainee journalists from Archant Anglia have successfully completed their Level 4 NVQs in Newspaper Journalism (Writing).

Jon Ball, from The Royston Crow, Fran Curtis of the Ely Standard in Cambridgeshire and Mark Linigard, a reporter with the Hunts Post, are the latest trainees from the publishing group to earn the journalism qualification.

And their success means 25 reporters from Archant Anglia have now gained their NVQ since the group switched to the qualification eight years ago.

Mike Almond, who is responsible for editorial training, said: "Achieving the NVQ, a degree-level journalism qualification, requires hard work, commitment and expertise.

"Our success speaks volumes about the calibre of the trainees we recruit and the skills of our senior editorial staff and dedicated trainers."

Six more trainees from Archant Anglia are already working on their NVQ portfolios, and four others are due to begin work on theirs in the new year.
