AFAIK, you've no hope of any paid journalism work without doing a hefty chunk of unpaid work experience beforehand. So if you can stick the hit to your wallet, that might be a possible use for your summer.

Pretty much spot on. Aaron, apply at a local rag or something (something similar to the Brighouse echo or something) for free work - it'll look great on your CV (if you are doing journalism at uni, for when you leave).

Yep, I appreciate that guys, but we have a six week period in our second year where we can go on placements, and I already have two fortnightly placements lined up, one with a local newspaper, and another with the League Express, so that aspect doesn't worry me too much.

Money worries me!

Have you tried the job shop at your Uni? They take quite a few on over summer.
