Here is your chance to meet and learn from BBC staff, experience how the BBC Newcastle newsroom works, and get an insight into how a news programme is put together. By taking part in Step Up you will develop your confidence and knowledge, and be in a better position to apply for jobs within the media industry. This is your chance to get that first Step into the media industry.

So who are we looking for?

We want people from the region who can find and tell great local stories. We are more concerned with your talent, potential and passion to achieve great things with us than with your academic background.

You will be passionate about media and news.  Maybe you've demonstrated this through writing in magazines, community or hospital radio, blogging, or work experience at a local newspaper?

You'll need to be able to write quickly but accurately.
