The Courier’s Farming Editor Ewan Pate was named Regional Farming Journalist of The Year at the reception. He collected both awards at the Royal Highland Show event last week.
The Courier Editor Richard Neville said, “We’re delighted to have been recognised for our coverage of agricultural news. We pride ourselves in giving our readers in Courier Country the best local news, and this accolade shows our agricultural coverage is second to none.
“Ewan does an excellent job ensuring our readers are kept up to date with local farming news from the communities they live in.”
The BGAJ Regional Newspaper of The Year Award celebrates high quality writing and the information and insight the newspaper provides to farmers and the non-farming community alike.
