Antonia Cundy, who was an intern at the Financial Times in 2020, supported by the Marjorie Deane Financial Journalism Foundation, writes:

“The Marjorie Deane internship is an incredible opportunity to work in the beating heart of one of the best newsrooms in the UK. Right from the start you are treated like a proper FT journalist, and given the responsibility and independence to pursue your own interests while learning on the job how to report on corporate news. All the new jargon might seem intimidating at first, but it won’t for long! In the six months of my internship I wrote front page news stories, interviewed major CEOs across multiple geographies, wrote for other sections of the paper including my first Opinion piece, and also made friends and connections I’m confident I’ll keep throughout my career.”
