SCMP Reporters

Hong Kong’s most trusted English-language news organisation is seeking promising young journalists for its graduate trainee programme.
Apply to be a South China Morning Post journalist graduate trainee.
The year-long programme starts with eight to 10 weeks of intensive training on all aspects of journalism, followed by a rotation to the major desks for the remainder of the training year.
The coaching is broad-based, but applicants will effectively be applying for a job on one of our key desks - Hong Kong, China and Business. Your application letter must say which of these desks you are aiming to join and why.
Who?
Talented, ambitious graduates who want to become journalists. Excellent English, strong writing skills, and a curious mind are essential. Cantonese or Mandarin, and multimedia skills are highly beneficial.
What?
Trainees earn professional salaries and are closely mentored during a first year designed to fast-track their development. Upon successful completion of the programme, trainees will move to permanent reporting jobs on their assigned desks.
When?
Before February 1, applicants should send a cover letter, attaching a full CV detailing language skills and any journalistic experience. The application should also include three published English-language news or feature articles from a print or online publication, and at least one letter of recommendation. The next class of trainees will report for duty on June 25, 2018.
Where?
The graduate trainee programme takes place in Hong Kong.
Why?
It is a great place to be a journalist. Since 1903, the South China Morning Post has been the gold standard of news publishing in the Asia region, and has continued to build this reputation around the world. Our credibility is founded on years of award-winning, world-class journalism, plus our deep understanding and interpretation of the issues locally, regionally and internationally.
How?
Email applications to career@scmp.com.
