STUDENTS from Glasgow Caledonian University have dominated the shortlist for a new competition for student journalists in Scotland.
The Scottish Student Journalism Awards is being organised by HND Media students at Cardonald College, in Glasgow.
Says Ken Garner, programme leader of the GCU’s MA Multimedia Journalism: “This is a sensational achievement by a very strong cohort this year, in which, impressively, half the class won nominations.
“The fact that our Masters students also won nominations in all categories but one – in everything from news and sport, to arts, features and multimedia – shows the range and depth of their talent and the true multimedia focus of our Masters programme.”
The winners will be announced on the third of next month. Each one will receive a cash prize or a work experience placement with the sponsor of their category.
