THREE National articles have been shortlisted for this year's Refugee Festival Scotland Media Awards.
Our journalists have been nominated in the News and Feature of the Year categories for their powerful coverage of refugee life in Scotland and the UK.
The organisers, the Scottish Refugee Council, said: "In an increasingly polarised world, accurate, responsible reporting on refugee and asylum issues has never been more important.
"We are delighted to honour the work of all the journalists in Scotland covering refugee and asylum issues with care and integrity."
