Overview
Creative Access has partnered with The Financial Times since 2016 to provide access to and demystify the world of journalism to people from under-represented communities.
Partnership impact
The partnership with Creative Access has enabled The Financial Times to bring in over 25 talented individuals from lower socio-economic backgrounds or Black, Asian and ethnically diverse communities into paid internships at the newspaper and its specialist titles. Almost all of these are still working in journalism and progressing through the industry.
Activity
The Financial Times committed not just to bringing in diverse talent, but to investing in that talent to enable them to thrive and progress in their careers. To that end, as well running regular internships, they also sponsor the Creative Access alumni mentoring programme which sees over 100 individuals matched with senior professionals each year.
