Digital Innovation Bursary launches

The Royal Television Society is expanding its Digital Innovation bursary programme to include students interested in a career in digital media content production and distribution, including social media, streaming platforms and branded content.

Alongside existing sponsors Apple TV+ and STV, the Andy Taylor Foundation has joined the Digital Innovation panel to provide support to two students who are looking to start their career in digital media.

In addition to funding, these students will receive a MacBook and an industry mentor from the Andy Taylor Foundation network.

Simon Pitts, incoming CEO of Global Media & Entertainment and Chair of the RTS Digital Innovation Panel, said: “I am thrilled that the Andy Taylor Foundation will be joining forces with the RTS Bursary Scheme. Andy was a special person and the vital work of his foundation will greatly enhance our Digital Innovation Panel, which collectively aims to attract and support the next generation of digital media talent in our industry.”

Applications are open from Thursday 20th February 2025 to Tuesday 24th June 2025. For more information click here
