In the main, there are three entry routes you can take into reporting in radio:

☛ traineeships offered by a few of the larger employers;

☛ moving into radio after first working as a print journalist; and

☛ completing an accredited pre-entry degree or postgraduate qualification.

Employers will expect you to have hands-on experience. To gain this hands-on experience, you could seek a place presenting community, student or hospital radio.
