Fairfax, publisher of the Age and the Australian Financial Review, have announced three traineeship positions.

Two of the positions are editorial traineeships with the Age. One is for a political reporter — and will most likely be Canberra-based — and the other is for ‘a committed general news breaker’ based in Melbourne.

The third position is a financial reporter traineeship with the Australian Financial Review. Successful candidates are required to have a knowledge of, and an interest in business and the share market. The traineeship is based in Sydney.
