30 years since the John Schofield Trust was founded, we’ve announced a tour of the UK and Ireland, and you’re all invited!
The purpose of these free journalism events is simple – to get local journalists in a room together and prove a career outside of London is very possible. Alongside a panel discussion from local journalists, career advice, and journalism networking over drinks and nibbles, we will also provide free headshots from a professional photographer if you want to update your LinkedIn!
Liverpool, 12th November 2026 – RSVP here
The panel:
– Steph Oliver (Sky News)
– Steve Graves (Liverpool Echo)
– Laurence Thompson (The Post, Mill Media)
You should attend the event if you live or work in the region where the event is, e.g. Liverpool if you live in or around the North-West of England.
