- Tim Harford, FT writer and broadcaster
- “When I arrived at the Financial Times, I fully expected to be spending most of my time doing the photocopying for Martin Wolf. Instead, I was participating in leader conferences from day one and quickly being asked to take responsibility for expressing the newspaper’s line on the issues of the day. The Peter Martin Fellowship gave me my start in journalism. It’s a truly exceptional opportunity.”
- Christopher Cook, FT Education Correspondent
- “From my first day, I was writing leaders for the paper and sitting in on the day’s leader discussions. This could have been a daunting experience but the FT is a collegiate and supportive workplace. The Peter Martin Fellowship is exceptionally rewarding. You learn more than you could possibly imagine at the outset. It launched me on a career in journalism.”
