We’re running our next community reporters training course at our community newsroom in Bramley in February – and we’d love you to join us!
If you’d like to get more involved in what’s going on locally, our free West Leeds Dispatch community reporters’ beginners’ training course could be right up your street.
The friendly and informal course runs over six, weekly sessions and offers a friendly and fun introduction to writing news articles, taking photos and interviewing – as well as offering wider help and guidance on everything you need to know to be a community reporter.

Our free course runs over six, two-hour sessions at Bramley Lawn Social Centre.
The course looks great on your CV as you learn transferable skills you can take into employment or studying. We hope you’ll go on to contribute many articles for us.
They’re run by West Leeds Dispatch editor John Baron, a journalist with 30 years’ experience who has worked for a variety of local newspapers as well as The Guardian.
At the end of it, you’ll become part of the Dispatch family of community reporters and earn a community reporters’ ‘press card’ and lanyard, as well as gain increased skills and confidence.
