A daily newspaper has renewed an awards scheme which offers paid work to a journalism student.

Glasgow daily The Herald has launched its second Student Press Awards, open to all students studying at Scottish higher or further education establishments.

Winners of the News Writer of the Year, Features Writer of the Year, Sports Writer of the Year and Columnist of the Year categories will receive a week of work experience with The Herald.

The Student Journalist of the Year will be offered the opportunity to join The Herald for a four-week paid internship.

Editor Catherine Salmond, pictured, said: “These awards proved to be even bigger than we anticipated last year, and the strength of the entries was inspiring to say the least.

“It is great to bring them back in 2025 and I am excited about what the judges and I are going to find when we sit down to face the tough task of picking winners.

“Student journalism played a fundamental role in how I ended up as a trainee reporter and on to, many years later, becoming an editor.

“The Herald is keen to support students on their journeys and this is just one way of us doing that.”
