TOP-CHANCES FOR NEWCOMERS AND PROFESSIONALS

This development has its consequences because less readers and less income from advertisements are leading to editorial offices being out-sourced or for freelance journalists being employed instead of full-time ones. This trend is nothing new. What is new is that because of this development, newcomers are presented with new and interesting possibilities – the spectrum of journalistic activities is diverse enough. Therefore the EPF supports and promotes also part-time journalists. As a member of European Press Federation you will receive comprehensive support and will find the perfect environment for your new career.
