Journalists and public relations staff from across Wiltshire gathered for an evening of celebration as the winners of this year’s Wiltshire Media Awards were announced.

Print, Internet and broadcast journalism as well as PR were all represented as 13 prizes were handed out during a ceremony at the Marriott Hotel in Swindon on Thursday.
