Oh, there she is… 👀 What a nice post from @gcu_alumni. Sometimes I feel pure jammy working at @BBCScotlandNews. It’s an absolute privilege getting to speak to - and work with - so many inspiring people. ❤️ Cally played a big part in getting in the door.

Well done to all our @CaledonianNews MA Multimedia Journalism students who’ve just finished their assessed newsweek - a busy day for news in Scotland but their front page looked great (as did the one they had to ditch this morning!)
There were bizarre scenes at Lochgilphead when a tied vote saw leadership of the council decided by cutting cards, with candidates backed by the SNP, Labour and some independents winning both times. wp.me/p8db2r-7YA
From @LochsidePress: Shocking increase in plastic litter on beaches revealed The amount of plastic litter found on beaches in Argyll and Bute has almost trebled in 30 years, a new report has revealed. scottishbeacon.com/news/environme…
Great to see 3 alumni from @BJTC_UK and @NCTJ_news accredited multimedia courses at @CaledonianNews nominated in the 2024 Commercial Radio News Awards - congratulations to @AlanJZycinski @Fraser_Knight and @Guy_ar_Stewart ! irnawards.co.uk
In case anyone was wondering what I do during my holidays ☺️ I think this pollution incident stemming from a pipeline running from Loch Long to Grangemouth is being seriously downplayed
Glen Fruin oil pipeline latest: residents and visitors relocated after leak. Rivers in the area said to be crucial for spawning wild salmon and sea trout, but authorities say no oil seen below protective booms that have been installed. Link below. wp.me/p8db2r-7HU

For their coverage of ‘Raise Funds for Alara’ the Local Campaign of the Year award goes to @largsnews. Well done to the winner and the runners up @greenocktele for their coverage of ‘Line of Duty’ and @The_Orcadian for ‘Ukraine’.
🆕 Presenters on day one of the three-day conference included Dr Ben McConville and Julian Calvert, of Glasgow Caledonian, who highlighted the decline in rural journalism.
The end of a great newsweek for our @CaledonianNews MA Multimedia Journalism students - four days of radio, TV, online and of course print stories for @GlasgowStand
Well done @STVCourtney , it was a great debut by a @CaledonianNews alumni - and your former classmate @LouiseScottITV was covering the big story for the UK!
