Starting as a young journalist is not easy- you can use all of the support that you can get. In the portraits of young starters and professional journalists you can find out how they got into journalism. Everybody has their own way into their profession, and we believe it is valuable to share it with others. We would like to report your unique story of getting into journalism as well and invite you to share it with us. Because together we can make changes through journalism and shape our profession for the future!

The International Federation of Journalists, the European Youth Press and their national federation are there to help you with practical information on your legal rights and duties, the acquisition of a press card, and the situation of the journalistic profession in your country. We also provide you with information on support funds specialising in investigative journalism.
