It's okay to not feel okay after covering a difficult story, says @CJPrker, and you're not alone - so being open about that can really help #NCTJdiversity

As often one of the first on the scene in an emergency, journalists are first responders and are susceptible to experiencing trauma - so how does that manifest in the newsroom and how can we manage anxiety? #NCTJdiversity

On making mistakes in the language used around disability, @EllieSimmonds1 says "It's okay to get things wrong, it's how you learn from that. Don't be afraid to ask questions." #NCTJdiversity

Former @The_JDF recipient @Ba11Talk says that not seeing himself represented is what drove him to become a sports journalist, and that now he receives messages from young people who are inspired to do the same #nctjdiversity

The @TRBursary was invaluable in supporting me through the NCTJ qualification and Masters @YourStMarys.
It has enabled me to pursue a career in sports journalism and continue to cover underrepresented groups in sport.
