There's a clear mismatch between the outcome of the first Today Programme Student Journalism Awards, and recent work by Alan Davey and others on "Reflecting the Socio-Economic Diversity of the UK within the BBC Workforce".
The Davey report notes as a weakness "Recruitment success rate still shows heavy
weighting in favour of Russell Group candidates".
Winner of Today's big prize, joining the BBC as a News Trainee, is Jack Hunter (Brighton Hove & Sussex VI College and Wadham College, Oxford). Jack has already managed to secure work experience at the Eastbourne Herald, Johnston Press, the i, the Mail on Sunday, the Press Association, Reuters and the Sunday Times.
Student critic of the year is Laura Hackett (Brasenose, Oxford). Visual journalist is Peter Flude (Falmouth). Broadcaster is Nikola Bartosova (Salford).
