Shropshire Star editor joins panel for NCTJ question and answer session
Martin Wright, the editor of the Shropshire Star, was invited to join panel of editors as part of an NCTJ question and answer session for students looking to get into journalism.
More than 40 students from around the country attended the debate, which was held at BBC Birmingham, at the Mailbox, as part of the NCTJ’s Student Council 2018.
Also on the panel were Laura Adams, editorial director of Archant, Naomi Bishop, assistant editor of BBC Midlands Today, Abbie Scott, deputy managing editor of the Financial Times, and Mark McGregor, assistant editor of BBC Online.
Martin said: “We had some really interesting – and quite tough – questions from the students. What was really encouraging was the fact that this was so well attended.
“There was a great sense of enthusiasm, interest and passion for journalism which bodes well for the future of the industry.”
