About this role
Broad Media is offering a three-month Journalism Graduate Programme in Centurion, paying R20,000 per month. Recent university graduates with excellent writing skills can apply, regardless of their degree field.
Broad Media is offering a Journalism Graduate Programme for recent university graduates and individuals completing their studies in 2026 who are passionate about news, writing and journalism. The three-month programme is based in Centurion, Gauteng, and offers a monthly payment of R20,000.
The opportunity is open to graduates from a wide range of academic disciplines. Unlike programmes that require a journalism-specific qualification, Broad Media welcomes applicants who studied fields such as Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Commerce (BCom), Law, Engineering or other university degrees.
The programme is designed for individuals who enjoy keeping up with current affairs, communicating information clearly and developing compelling written content. Successful applicants will receive training intended to help them build the skills needed to pursue a career in journalism.
For graduates looking to enter the media industry, the programme provides an opportunity to explore journalism professionally while gaining practical experience in a newsroom environment.
About the Broad Media Journalism Graduate Programme
The Broad Media Journalism Graduate Programme runs for three months and is structured to introduce graduates to the field of journalism. It is an in-office opportunity, meaning successful candidates will be required to work from the company’s offices in Centurion, Gauteng.
During the programme, participants will receive training to develop their journalistic abilities. The training is intended to help graduates build the knowledge and practical skills required to produce quality news content.
Journalism requires more than an interest in current affairs. Professionals in the field need to communicate information accurately, write clearly, identify relevant stories and present information in a way that readers can understand. The programme offers aspiring journalists an opportunity to begin developing these capabilities.
Broad Media’s approach also makes the opportunity accessible to graduates whose academic backgrounds are not traditionally associated with journalism. Candidates with degrees in commerce, law, engineering, arts and other fields can apply, provided they meet the stated requirements.
Salary and Programme Duration
One of the key features of the programme is its monthly payment of R20,000. The programme lasts for three months, giving successful candidates a defined period in which to receive training and gain exposure to journalism.
Based on the advertised monthly amount, the total payment over three months would be R60,000, assuming the programme runs for the full period at the stated rate. Applicants should confirm the applicable payment terms with Broad Media.
The programme is full-time and office-based. Therefore, candidates should be prepared to commit to the programme schedule and work from Centurion.
Minimum Requirements
Broad Media has specified two main requirements for applicants interested in the Journalism Graduate Programme.
- Excellent Writing Ability
Applicants must demonstrate excellent writing ability. Strong writing skills are essential in journalism because journalists need to communicate information clearly, organise facts logically and produce content that is accurate and easy to understand.
Candidates who enjoy writing, following news developments and explaining important issues may find the programme particularly relevant to their interests.
- A University Degree
Applicants must have a degree, but it does not have to be in journalism. The programme is open to graduates from different academic backgrounds, including BA, BCom, Law and Engineering.
Graduates completing their studies in 2026 and recent graduates are encouraged to consider the opportunity. The advertisement does not specify a particular university degree classification or minimum academic average.
Interested candidates should review the official vacancy information for any additional application instructions.
Who Should Apply?
The programme is suitable for university graduates who are interested in news, current affairs and written communication and who want to explore a career in journalism.
It may be particularly attractive to graduates who have strong writing skills but did not study journalism as their primary qualification. A degree in another discipline does not automatically exclude an applicant, as Broad Media has stated that graduates from any university field may apply.
Applicants should be enthusiastic about learning, open to training and willing to work in an office-based environment in Centurion. A genuine interest in news and the ability to communicate effectively are important considerations for candidates preparing their applications.
Location and Work Arrangement
The Journalism Graduate Programme is based in Centurion, Gauteng. It is a full-time, in-office opportunity rather than a remote programme.
Candidates should consider the location and work arrangement before applying. Those who live outside Centurion should assess whether they can attend the programme in person for its three-month duration.
