Lodged by David Torrance (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 20 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament celebrates Allan Crow’s achievement of reaching 30 years of service as editor of various Fife-based newspapers; understands that Allan began in the newspaper business as a teenager with a Saturday job reporting on East of Scotland League football matches for the old pink newspaper, before moving to Ayrshire to work at the Cumnock Chronicle; further understands that Allan was offered the job of editor of the Glenrothes Gazette in January 1993, before moving to the Fife Free Press in Kirkcaldy; considers that Allan’s love and passion for his profession has made the Fife Free Press the enduring, high-quality newspaper that it is today, continuing to provide trustworthy local news in an ever-changing world dominated by digital media, and wishes Allan and the Fife Free Press all the best for the future.
