The Birmingham Press Club is gearing up for its sixth annual Midlands Media Awards.

And this year’s event, which traditionally celebrates print journalism, welcomes two new award categories – radio journalist and television journalist of the year.

This year’s ceremony will be held at the city’s International Convention Centre on June 6.
