The National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) has opened applications for a journalist to run the London Marathon in aid of a charity, according to an announcement by HoldtheFrontPage.
HoldtheFrontPage reports that the NCTJ is inviting media professionals to step into the role of runner, with the aim of raising money and awareness for an as‑yet unspecified charity. The call to action does not detail the selection criteria or the charity involved, but it highlights the organization’s commitment to community engagement through sport.
The NCTJ is a leading UK body that accredits journalism training programmes, and it has a history of partnering with charitable causes and public events to promote the profession’s social responsibilities.
