Guardian wins two media awards

Budding journalists from across the country descended upon Oran Mor in Glasgow on Wednesday night for this year’s Scottish Student Press Awards.
Students from the city dominated at the ceremony, ably hosted by Daryl Broadfoot of The Herald, with two Glasgow University Guardian writers picking up awards, and three prizes going to the Glasgow University Magazine, including Student Journalist of the Year for its fashion editor, Jenny Munro.
She wins a prize of £500 plus a paid work placement at The Herald, which the MC cheekily suggested made a total prize fund of £600.
