Rising Star in Scottish Journalism Recognised

A former reporter with The Shetland Times has been recognised as one of Scotland’s most promising journalistic talents after winning four awards at the Highlands and Islands Press Ball and Media Awards. Judges praised the journalist’s body of work for its technical skill, editorial judgement, and consistent quality across news, features, and community reporting. The panel highlighted the reporter’s ability to explain complex issues clearly while remaining closely connected to local audiences. Although the journalist has since moved on from the Shetland-based newspaper, organisers said the awards reflect both outstanding past achievement and strong future potential, underlining the continuing importance of high-quality regional journalism in Scotland.
