Media Trust X John Lyon’s Charity Speed Pitching to Journalists

• Date: Wednesday 15 October
• Time: 12:30 – 13:30
• Where: Online (Zoom)

We’re looking for experienced journalists and trained media professionals to volunteer their time to support our virtual Speed Pitching event for the 20 incredible London-based youth charities on our Comms Capacity Support programme.

Over the course of an hour, the charities will pitch their stories in breakout rooms, and the journalists will provide guidance on how they can hone their pitch and increase traction with the press.

Previous speed-pitching events have received support from outlets including the Telegraph, BBC, the Metro and Bloomberg and are hugely impactful for the charities involved.

The event would require no prep or follow-up from the journalists, unless – of course – you would like to. After all, you might find your next story!

To sign up, click apply and we'll be in touch with more details or if you have any questions, please email Ashanty at ashantya@mediatrust.org.

Quick Fix: 1-4 hours
