Specifically, to promote good journalistic practice and to create pathways to encourage young people to consider a career in journalism. ## **Public benefit** The trust is mindful of the lack of diversity in the journalistic profession – currently 86% of professional journalists come from white ethnic groups. We are also mindful of the importance of speaking truth to power in any healthy democracy. We aim to encourage young people from unrepresented communities to find a voice and to consider a career in journalism. ## **Daniel Phelan Trust - activities 2024** ## **Board meeting** A board meeting was held on 20/2/25 attended by Matthew Nolan, Cathy Phelan-Watkins and Delroy Corinaldi. ## **Internship programme.** Further to consultation with deputy Vice Chancellor Vanessa Lemm and Prof. John Morton at Greenwich University, the DP Trust agreed to set up an internship programme open exclusively to students attending the University and wishing to pursue a career in journalism. 14.3.24- A presentation was made to students at Greenwich University by Mathew Nolan and Cathy Phelan Watkins inviting students to apply. 12.4.24- Sixteen entries were received by the agreed closing date. 10.5.24- Five students were invited to attend interviews at Civil Society Media, Clapham.
