Two regional newspaper reporters have been shortlisted for a One World Media Award.

Lucy Adams, from The Herald in Glasgow, and Rebecca Lowe, from the Swansea-based South Wales Evening Post, are up for Local Media Award at the 20th annual ceremony.

The scheme offers 12 prizes celebrating journalists who have shown excellence in reporting the developing world.

Lucy’s entry, A History of Violence, is about former child soldiers in Uganda while Rebecca’s Time to Stop Human Traffic focuses on trafficking out of Cambodia. Carole Green from ITV Wales is the other shortlisted candidate in this category.

The awards ceremony, run by the One World Broadcasting Trust, is being held on June 12 in Covent Garden.

The host will be Channel 4’s Jon Snow and the guest speaker will be the Lord Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu.
