Wishaw Press
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the Wishaw Press on its success at Media Scotland's second regional awards; understands that it won the Best Circulation Performance award from among the 17 titles in the Regional Media Scotland stable as well as the Campaign of the Year title, in recognition of its two-month campaign that led to Shotts being given town status; considers that the newspaper fulfils a valuable campaigning role for communities in the Wishaw area, particularly with its coverage of issues such as GP out-of-hours services, A&E waiting times, job losses at Tata Dalzell, council budget cuts, streetscape issues and many other grassroots and human interest stories, and wishes the newspaper growth and success in its community-based campaigning.
