"Make sure you are paying people for work placements and internships in order to create a level playing field for those from low socioeconomic backgrounds" says Rebecca Moore @cnni @cnnipr #NCTJdiversity
Up next is a discussion on employability, accessing networks and the value of mentoring with @VeronicaKD @nadaabashir @Ba11Talk @aidanmccartney and Rebecca More #NCTJdiversity @cnnipr

It's okay to not feel okay after covering a difficult story, says @CJPrker, and you're not alone - so being open about that can really help #NCTJdiversity
As often one of the first on the scene in an emergency, journalists are first responders and are susceptible to experiencing trauma - so how does that manifest in the newsroom and how can we manage anxiety? #NCTJdiversity

On making mistakes in the language used around disability, @EllieSimmonds1 says "It's okay to get things wrong, it's how you learn from that. Don't be afraid to ask questions." #NCTJdiversity
Really great to hear from @EllieSimmonds1 about the importance of representation and seeing herself reflected in sport and the media #NCTJdiversity

How can you get the most out of mentoring? "Preparation is key", says @VeronicaKD. Make sure you know ahead of your meetings what you want to get out of the session #NCTJdiversity
So great to be joined by this year's bursary recipients, as well as our industry supporters ✨ #NCTJdiversity

Former @The_JDF recipient @Ba11Talk says that not seeing himself represented is what drove him to become a sports journalist, and that now he receives messages from young people who are inspired to do the same #nctjdiversity

The @TRBursary was invaluable in supporting me through the NCTJ qualification and Masters @YourStMarys.
It has enabled me to pursue a career in sports journalism and continue to cover underrepresented groups in sport.
