Vote for Cambrian News to Make a Difference

Cambrian News is recognized for standing up for the people of mid and west Wales, and this commitment has now gained wider industry acknowledgment. The News Media Association has shortlisted Cambrian News for the annual Making A Difference Awards, highlighting its thorough coverage of the poor health services in the region.

Recognition and Competition

This is the second consecutive year Cambrian News has been nominated. Editor Mick O’Reilly commented on the competition:

“It’s the second year running Cambrian News has been nominated for the award and we’re up against daily regional newspapers such as the Nottingham Post, the Bolton News and the Inverness Courier.”

He noted that while these publications are dailies and cover larger populations, Cambrian News remains relentless in addressing vital local issues:

“Those publications have an advantage in that they’re dailies and have a bigger population area, but Cambrian News is never one to shy away from a fight and we believe we are harder hitting more often on a subject that is vital to everyone in mid and west Wales.”

Impact on Local Politics

The reporting on underfunded and inadequate healthcare services led to a response from First Minister Eluned Morgan, who claimed the region received its fair share of resources. This sparked a political debate, with MS Elin Jones accusing the First Minister of being out of touch with the local reality ahead of the Senedd elections in May.

Call to Action

The award is decided by popular vote. Editor O’Reilly urges readers to participate:

“The award is chosen by popular vote so it’s important that as many of you as possible scan the QR code and click on the Cambrian News entry.”

Author’s summary: Cambrian News continues to hold a strong voice for mid and west Wales, with its impactful reporting gaining industry recognition and encouraging public support in a crucial voting campaign.
