THE Western Telegraph has been shortlisted for the title of Welsh Weekly Newspaper of the Year at the Wales Media Awards 2015.
The WT will go up against the County Times and Cambrian News for the award.
The winner will be announced on at the Wales Media Awards 2015 gala dinner at the Cardiff Marriott on Thursday March 19.
Western Telegraph Editor Holly Robinson said: “I’m delighted that the Western Telegraph has been nominated for this prestigious award.
“Every member of the team works extremely hard every day to bring the people of Pembrokeshire the news that matters to them.
“Wales has many excellent weekly newspapers and to be shortlisted to the top three is a honour in itself.”
Jonathan Grun, editor-in-chief, The Press Association, is chairman of judges.
He said: “The revival of the Wales Media Awards has shown the strength of Welsh journalism and the vital role it plays in the life of Wales. Choosing the shortlists has been a tremendously difficult job.
“Now that we have shortlists for the awards, we will start the job of choosing winners. Having seen the quality of entries already, this will be great fun - and very difficult. I look forward to celebrating the best in Welsh journalism.”
