Glasgow Times reporter wins prestigious award
Donald Erskine was crowned winner of the local media category for the Refugee Festival Scotland Media Awards 2025. The winners and runners up were announced at a ceremony in Glasgow on Wednesday, June 11 as their work was celebrated for showcasing powerful storytelling and highlighting the everyday realities for those seeking safety. READ NEXT: I Kissed A Boy stars talk Dannii Minogue, favourite Glasgow spots and representation (Image: Images supplied) Donald took home the top prize for his article on Oleksii Koliukh, 31, and his wife Ana Bohuslavska, 31, who came to Scotland when Russia invaded their home near Ukraine's capital, Kyiv. The couple, who live in Pollok, spoke to Donald about their struggle to find permanent work. To stay longer in the country, Oleksii and Ana were in the process of applying under the Ukraine Permission Extension Scheme, which lets them live, work, and study in the UK for another 18 months — but it doesn't offer a path to stay permanently. Donald's article reported on the couple's experience, whilst highlighting the issues refugees experience as they try and find a safe space to call home. You can read the full article HERE The judges of this years entries were Alison Phipps, chair of UNESCO-RIELA at the University of Glasgow, Larry Bottinick from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Nick McGowan-Lowe from the National Union of Journalists, Elahe Ziai from IMIX, and Johannes Gonai from Pachedu. READ NEXT: Inside the TRNSMT-inspired rave for Glasgow teenagers Hamish Morrison, reporter for the Glasgow Times' sister title, The National, also scooped up the top prize in the news category for his article on Hyab Yohannes. Yohannes, a refugee who fled Egypt against the threat of organ-harvesting kidnappers, compared the riots which spread across England last August to the horrors he left behind in Africa. You can read Hamish's full article HERE The Scottish Refugee Council said: "In an increasingly polarised world, accurate, responsible reporting on refugee and asylum issues is crucial. Last summer, racist riots swept across the UK, creating fear in refugee and migrant communities. "Good journalism can help counter toxic narratives and harmful misconceptions about forced migration. That's why we team up with the National Union of Journalists each year to host the Media Awards. "Thanks so much to everyone who entered work, every person who shared their story and every journalist who helps amplify the voices of people from refugee backgrounds."

Meet the Glaswegian stars of I Kissed A Boy season two
This is the first thing that hospital pharmacist Jack D says as he recounts his time on the hit BBC dating show, I Kissed A Boy. Image of Jack, supplied. Speaking to the Glasgow Times, Jack described the experience as surreal, before adding: 'I'll never get to do something like that ever again. I've made lifelong friends.' And one of those friends is fellow Glaswegian and finance analyst, Jas. Image of Jas, supplied. The two Glasgow-born boys entered the Italy cottage, known as the Masseria, with eight other men for a summer of love. Matched on what they are looking for in a partner, each contestant must skip the chat and niceties when they meet on the Masseria grounds for the first time and go straight in for a kiss before entering the Masseria with their partner to explore their relationship and possible connections with the other men. READ NEXT: Two Glaswegians star in hit BBC reality show I Kissed A Boy Hosted by pop icon Dannii Minogue and narrated by Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams, this season of the show — which aired on May 11 — threw Jack and Jas into some wild experiences and left them with plenty of incredible memories, including meeting Dannii Minogue, of course. Jas, 27, said: 'This experience is something that I will never forget in my entire life. 'It was the most beautiful celebration of what it means to be queer. To have my name attached to that is such a pinch-me moment. I genuinely would do it a million times over.' (Image: Images provided) 'When I first saw Dannii across the pool on that first day, I went non-verbal,' Jack said. He continued: 'I have loved her music since I was younger and loved watching her on The X Factor. They say never meet your heroes, but I've met mine and it was everything I thought it would be in the best way.' Speaking on Dannii's unwavering support for the queer community, Jack added: 'She's such an ally. Behind the scenes, she really does care about all of us and wants us to do well. She's not just there to do a job, she loves the show. She's been so outspoken – especially about trans inclusivity, I'm just in awe of her.' Jas agreed, saying: 'She cares about the community, and she champions it. She is a textbook ally, through and through.' (Image: Images provided) The show – which is the UK's first dating show exclusively for gay men – is not just about kissing and meeting your pop heroes though. From Lars being the show's first transgender contestant and Adam revealing his journey with HIV to Jas talking about what it means to be queer and Punjabi, the show is all about breaking down barriers and opening space for important conversations. Through this, so many viewers have seen themselves represented on TV for the first time ever. Jas said: 'The number of messages I've had from Punjabi, queer and even Scottish people who have seen themselves represented in this show because of me is so special and beautiful. 'I want to be the best role model that I possibly can be. I will not let this platform go to waste. I want to make an impact and help the community by spreading as much love and positivity as I possibly can. So that way, when I'm old and wrinkly in about a year's time, I can look back and be like, I did that.' (Image: Images provided) Jack, 26, added: 'I don't ever remember watching a queer dating show that had a trans person in it. I remember when Lars told me and I thought, 'He's literally going to change the world'." READ NEXT: 'People are travelling for our food': India takeaway go viral for 'tangy' treat When they aren't on national TV kissing boys, one of Jack's favourite places to go is Café Buena Vida in the Southside of Glasgow, where he is a resident DJ and Jas loves Loch Lomond. He explained: 'It's my favourite place in the world. When I learned how to drive that was like my thing. I would drive there with a speaker and listen to music. Then I started to make friends, and we'd go and make a whole evening of it. It became my outlet and source of freedom. 'I love that you can literally be in Glasgow city centre and within an hour you can be surrounded by so much nature and peace. I am so proud to be Scottish. I'm so proud to be from Glasgow. It's one of the most incredible places full of people that are so friendly and there's a real sense of community just by being Glaswegian.'
