BBC Blast Young Reporters from last year

Could you become a Blast Young Reporter?

The BBC’s Blast Young Reporter Scheme allows a young person to experience what it’s like to work for the BBC as well as share their passion about the local sports scene. Applications for this summer’s scheme are now open.

Are you passionate about Sport? Fancy being the next Gary Lineker, John Inverdale or Sue Barker?

A new, exciting opportunity has arisen for young reporters to work alongside sports teams in BBC Local Radio stations and BBC Where I Live sites this summer.

You’ll have a proven interest in both general sport and football journalism in particular.

You will be given the opportunity to record and write your own reports, see how radio programmes and web pages are put together.

We're looking for an enthusiastic team player with a passion for sport to join this BBC Local Radio station and Where I Live website.
