Wannabe Hacks is a living, breathing journalism resource.

All our content is produced by aspiring journalists meaning you get the inside track on the skills and tools necessary to get a job in the media industry.

Our mission is to offer an insight into the different routes into journalism, provide in-depth commentary about the big issues and stimulate healthy discussion around what matters to you.

Our current editors are:

• Natalie Clarkson, third year BA journalism student at Staffordshire University
• Jon Offredo, reporter at a mid-sized local newspaper in America
• Jonathan Frost, CEO of his own media start-up and student at the University of York
• Emily Handford, editorial assistant at a publishing house in London
• Hannah Maria Bass, Magazine Journalism MA student at City University, London

Wannabe Hacks was founded in 2010 by five graduate students keen to get into journalism. Eighteen months after they started, Matthew Caines, Tom Clarke, Nick Petrie, Alice Vincent and Ben Whitelaw had jobs at national media organisations.
