A German journalism student has beaten her English counterparts to a writing award.

Jenny Laue, who studies at Darlington College of Technology, was one of several students invited to write a review of an exhibition organised by the town's Society of Arts group.

The group picked Jenny's entry as the best and awarded her a £30 gift voucher.

The student, who was born in Berlin during the Communist regime, hopes to work as a television presenter after completing her course.

Her tutor, Andrew Douglas, said: "It was a fantastic effort by Jenny. She is a great writer and a great example of how a European can live and work in another country."
