Jobs in media: Meet Ellis, Multimedia News and Sport Reporter with Bauer Media

Ranked Top 100 Apprentice Employer in 2022, Bauer Media offers great ways to kickstart your career in media. News and Sport Reporter Ellis Maddison shares his career journey.

It all began with Kickstart…

“Originally joining Bauer Media as a part-time Digital News Journalist through the kickstart scheme, I wasn’t fully sure on what to expect. Though after just a few weeks in the role I felt like I was already a key part of my team creating entertaining, informative and important news stories for our readers all across the UK. Having earned a promotion to a News and Sport Reporter I was brought into regular contact with the wider news team, and I instantly felt like I was part of a supportive community of like-minded, ambitious colleagues.”

Expert advice and incredible experiences…

“Progressing my career with Bauer over the past year has presented me with exceptional opportunities like covering the EFL Championship Play-Off Final and the FA Community Shield. I’m never far from expert advice from some of the best journalists in the industry, who’ve encouraged me to champion my own patch, while I’ve felt encouraged to imprint my own style and personality both in my news reporting and on Bauer Media itself from the get-go.”

Why work with Bauer Media?

“Bauer presents any budding journalist with a wealth of opportunities, and will equip anyone at the start of their career with the tools they need to become the best there is.”
