Adam Drummond, of the Berwick Advertiser, also passsed, after studying for the exam at Cardonald College, in Glasgow.
Said Meade of his award: “It was quite hard collating everything for the logbook. I was confident I had everything in place but I wasn’t sure if the examiners would see it that way but obviously they did.
“Working at the Dunfermline Press has given me a wide range of stories to cover, from court to sport and I’m very grateful for that.”
