Stephen Bush event: making it in political journalism
Show Notes

New Statesman political editor Stephen Bush talks to Young Fabian national executive committee member Stella Tsantekidou about how to make a career as a UK political journalist. Having previously worked at the Telegraph, and with a brief stint at an (impossibly under-frequented) London bookshop, Stephen talks candidly of his experiences, skills and lack thereof. The talk is followed by a Q&A with Young Fabian members who ask probing questions to the man who first predicted Corbyn's leadership election. Fascinating stuff.
