The Herald announces winners of the Student Press Awards 2025

The Herald Student Press Awards, in association with Weber Shandwick, returned for 2025, recognising the best journalistic talent in Scotland's universities and colleges. The event, which took place within The Herald's Bath Street offices, welcomed some of the best prospects from media and journalism courses and student newspapers. In an age where disinformation is spreading rapidly, quality, accountable journalism has never mattered more. And this starts in our universities and colleges. The Herald believes in student journalism and is keen to provide a platform for rising stars, allowing them a boost into their future careers. Winners were announced across nine categories, showcasing the best in writing, production, and design. The finalists and winners were welcomed to a drinks reception by Herald editor Catherine Salmond and editor-in-chief of Newsquest Scotland Callum Baird. Natalie Buxton, Managing Director, UK Network of Weber Shandwick said: 'It has been an absolute honour to sponsor The Herald Student Press Awards for the second year running. These awards celebrate the passion, creativity, and integrity that student journalists, production staff and editors bring to their craft, and we are honored to help amplify their voices as they prepare to lead the industry forward.' Catherine Salmond, editor of The Herald, said: 'Student journalism played a fundamental role in how I ended up as a trainee reporter and on to, many years later, becoming an editor. The Herald is keen to support students on their journeys and this is just one way of us doing that.'
