Two journalism students took their teachers’ lessons to heart and ended up with separate exclusives in the News of the World.
Anthony Luzio and Steven Kelly, who have both completed the sub-editing course at The Journalist Works training centre, combined their knowledge of Freedom of Information legislation and their news writing skills gleaned from the NCTJ-approved course which is based at The Argus, in Brighton.
Steven’s story – Toxic Shock – was about accidents involving the transportation of nuclear material, while Anthony’s – Chavettes – showed how more young women were being fined for being out of control.

The cartoons and other editorial materials are being offered for publication in newspapers, on websites and for broadcast on World Press Freedom Day, May 3.
