This year awarded to Christiane Amanpour, Chief International Anchor for CNN and host of CNN International’s nightly interview programme Amanpour.

The event, We Need to Talk About Class, held at the iconic Glasgow Women’s Library, shone a spotlight on the hidden obstacles encountered by working-class journalists, not only in Scotland but throughout the industry.

This groundbreaking debate delved into a range of issues, from the burden of expensive tuition fees to media narratives often unfriendly to those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The Journalists’ Charity is delighted to announce that Gill Smith, Editor-in-Chief of the Scottish Sun, has become the chair of the charity’s Scottish Committee.

Following in the finest traditions of making the headlines, Gill’s first event as chair will be to host the charity flagship Press Lunch in Glasgow next month.
