Our founder Susannah Schofield MBE was made an honorary Doctor of Literature at the University of London’s Foundation Day ceremony yesterday, in recognition of her work on diversity within the journalism sector. John Schofield Trust Chair Jonathan Paterson welcomed the news saying, “Since founding the John Schofield Trust 30 years ago, Susie has worked tirelessly to ensure young journalists are supported in their careers.

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 events will be simple – to get local journalists in a room together and prove a career outside of London is very possible. There will be career advice, a panel discussion from local journalists and networking over drinks and nibbles.

We’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on one of our incredible alumni, Vincent McAviney, a journalist whose journey with the John Schofield Trust has come full circle. From being a mentee in 2013 to becoming a mentor and now taking on the London Marathon to raise funds for the Trust, Vincent is the very embodiment of what our community is all about: giving back, growing together and supporting the next generation of journalists.
