Holyrood magazine editor Mandy Rhodes has been nominated for
Political Journalist of the Year at the annual Scottish Press Awards,
to take place in April.
Other contenders are Eddie Barnes of Scotland on Sunday, Campbell
Gunn of the Sunday Post, Paul Hutcheon of the Sunday Herald and Stuart
Nicolson of the Scottish Daily Mail.
The awards, held by the Scottish
Daily Newspaper Society, are in their 28th year. Charles Wilson, chair
of the judging panel, said: "Competition in the Scottish
newspaper market, always the strongest in the UK, has become even more
intense in recent times because of the increase in resources being
spent by London-based groups on their Scottish editions."
"Journalistic quality thrives on such competition and this is richly
reflected in this year's near record entry for the Scottish Press
Awards"
The event, to be hosted by Lorraine Kelly, has the support of a
number of high profile sponsors, including Bord Na Gaidhlig, Clydesdale
Bank, Event Consultants Scotland, Highland Spring, MCL, Radisson SAS
Hotel Glasgow, Redpath, Royal Mail, Scottish & Newcastle, Standard
Life, Standard Life, The Business, VisitScotland and Whyte & Mackay.
