DAILY MAIL — The BBC has come under fire for excluding white people from applying to a trainee journalism post.
The job is offered through Creative Access an organisation that aims to get better representation for people from ethnic minority backgrounds in the creative industries.
The traineeship with Newsbeat, the BBC’s current affairs outlet for 16-25 year olds, is touted as ‘the ideal environment for multi-media training that is so rewarding to experience early in a journalism career’ according to the job advert.
