NEWSQUEST journalists scooped one win and three highly commendeds at the Midlands Media Awards.
Philippa May was among those recognised for her efforts with the Herefordshire Society magazine.
That title was highly recommended in the Magazine of the Year section.
Other journalists receiving plaudits included Adam Smith, from Halesowen News, who won Scoop of the Year after a series of stories exposed bullying at a local council.
Regional Editor Peter John said: "It’s a testament to the tremendous quality of our news teams across our titles that we had so many shortlisted for awards.”
