A STUDENT at Glasgow Clyde College has been named Scottish Student Journalist of the Year, after scooping two category prizes, including for a book of letters penned by members of the public, imagining their ‘future Scotland’.
At the Scottish Student Journalism Awards – held last night in Glasgow – Catrina Cochrane took the top prize, in addition to the category titles, Feature Writer of the Year and Multimedia Publication of the Year.
The latter title was for ‘Dearest Scotland’ – for more info, click here, this media release on allmediascotland.com – while the former was a feature not yet published (but perhaps very soon to be) about Roza Salih, one of the so-called ‘Glasgow Girls’, who took on the authorities about the way failed asylum seekers were being treated.

A DUNDEE-based freelance journalist is leaving on Sunday to travel across Europe, to research a book being financed by crowdfunding.
As reported earlier in the month – here, on allmediascotland.com – Lorraine Wilson was seeking £2,500, with the aim of penning Facing Forwards, which, she says, will be part travelogue and part personal story about the therapeutic aspects of solo travel and of facing challenges alone.
The funding target was this week more than reached.
Wilson is the author of Take it to the Bridge, published four years ago, about Dundee’s music heritage.
