Two new scholars from Tristan da Cunha will learn about the basics of Journalism while visiting the Falkland Islands. Their basic course will take two months and cover reporting, news gathering, photography and research.
Sarah Glass, daughter of James and Felicity Glass, of Tristan da Cunha, has taken up a SARTMA Scholarship in Journalism and is on her way to the Falklands aboard HMS Portland to take up her place.

Though the Overseas Territories Consultative Council will not be meeting until our spring – autumn in the UK, some of the South Atlantic Islands have already chosen the representative who will be attending the event in London.

When Flat Stanley left St. Clement’s Elementary School in St. Bernard, Ohio on the 5th of November 2003, no one knew that by the time he finished his travels, the paper cut out would be travelling to each of the South Atlantic British Overseas Territories. That’s a trip of approximately 20,000 miles by air and by sea.
