If you are contemplating a career or university course in journalism, a DSG Abroad placement can set you on the right track. On our Print Journalism placements you not only get an insider's view of how publications are run, you get the chance to put together a portfolio. Alternatively, a Radio or News Paper journalism placement will provide you with an array of tapes and a host of broadcasting or production experience. If you are already a working journalist, a DSG Abroad placement can broaden your horizons - and enhance your CV - with work experience in a different culture and society, or maybe a different medium. Whatever placement you choose, you will get an insight into the workings of the media in a new cultural and political setting. This can mean working with local journalists for whom being a member of the Press is not just a job, but a commitment that places them at the cutting edge.
