Reporting Excellence
HoldtheFrontPage has been the home of regional journalism news and jobs since its launch in 2000 and highlighting the vital work done by regional press journalists has always been a key part of what we do.
We have created the Reporting Excellence channel to do just that – to showcase top work by local news journalists and in particular to highlight the vital contribution made by regional media in holding local authorities and other institutions to account.
