So I am two months out of university and have just started an internship at the New Statesman (more on that later) and I wanted to tell you all about this fantastic new project, it’s called Wannbe Hacks.

The elevator pitch would be: Five young men. Five vastly different career paths. One capital city. All wannabe hacks and it is exciting times for us.

The best thing about this project (despite the scope and ambition behind it) is it is my project, or at least one fifth mine. Along with the friends I graduated with we have set out to tell the story of our journeys with heavy dose of introspective analysis, industry advice and a dash of humour and hubris.

We really hope the project will grow into a definite resource – we intend not only to write about our own experiences, but to have guest posts, interviews – to link to resources, tools, ideas, discussion and debate.

We desperately want to have a say in the ‘new journalism’ that our world is currently developing and we strong believe the best way to do this is to engage in the conversation and help frame the discussion.

So check out the project, subscribe – follow us (@wannabehacks) and join in with the journey.
