A journalism student has landed paid work with a daily newspaper after scooping an awards treble.

University of Glasgow student Odhran Gallagher was named Student Journalist of the Year at The Herald’s Student Press Awards 2025, winning a four-week paid internship with the Glasgow-based daily as a result.

Odhran, pictured, also won the News Writer of the Year and Scoop of the Year categories for his work on the university’s student publication Hillhead Review, which was also named Student News Brand of the Year.

The winners were announced in a ceremony held at The Herald’s Bath Street offices.

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.”
