Guardian Positive Action Scheme

The Guardian is seeking to achieve a better representation of our diverse society in journalism, and each summer offers 12 two-week placements for students and graduates from racial minorities. Successful applicants will learn about different aspects of the profession, gaining an insight into the workings of the newspaper, website and multimedia department.

Details of how to apply for this opportunity can be found on the Guardian News and Media website and the deadline for applications is Friday 27 March 2010.

The Guardian have a great list of other diversity schemes in the media here including placements at the BBC and Channel4 and other opportunities for broadcast and newspaper journalists.
