Herald and Times training scheme working well

The developing partnership with the Herald and Times in Glasgow moved on apace this week, with a group of second-year HND Practical Journalism students getting the chance to visit the company's city centre offices.

Editor-in-chief Donald Martin, who is also chairman of the Society of Editors and on the board of the NCTJ, met with the students, while they also met with Evening Times editor Tony Carlin, training chief Charles Fletcher and community and online's Helen Smith.

It's a real credit to five of the course's students - Lesley Quinn, Rosie Lowne, Victoria Irvine, Iain Smith and Claire Brunton - that they've all been chosen to progress to the next stage of our partnership training scheme, where they'll be right at the heart of production of the Evening Times, Herald and Sunday Herald.
