There is no doubt that regional newspapers are facing difficult times at the moment. But their survival is crucial. As I have written so many times before, covering local democracy, shining lights in dark corners, exposing the corrupt, campaigning for local causes, fighting injustices and a lot more will all be threatened without a vibrant regional Press. That is why I am delighted to be joining Alison Gow as chair of the judges in the Regional Press Awards. We had a meeting last week and agreed to extend the deadline - so you now have until midnight on Thursday (November 30) to get your entries in. We have added three categories this year – Opinion Writer, Crime & Investigation Reporter and Best Live Coverage – making 21 awards. The full list is below. So if you are working in the local and regional Press, get your entries in and let's celebrate the great work that still goes on up and down the country. And I look forward to catching up with you at the awards lunch next April. Entry detail are here. INDIVIDUAL AWARDS
