Edi Wins Sony Radio Gold And Bronze
A good night for Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio Scotland at the and for Edi Stark in particular. Nominated in two categories, Edi picked up the Gold 'News Special' award for an edition of The Investigation and also a bronze in the Speech Broadcaster category.
Well done to her and to our Editor Sharon Mair who oversees the Investigation strand. It's won a handful of awards since its launch, but this is the biggest prize so far.
Here's how the judges described the programme:
"A great piece of journalism. This programme dealt with a very important but largely neglected subject: the 110,000 over-sixties in Scotland who are caring on an unpaid basis for family or for friends who are unable to look after themselves. Edi Starks sympathetic but unsentimental style hit just the right tone with what is a highly emotive subject. In doing so she secured some great interviews. The seamless production cleverly combined great first-hand story-telling with enough context and analysis of the wider issue."
