Last week, Number 10 Downing Street hosted the Local Media Champions reception to celebrate local journalists from across the United Kingdom and thank them for their work.
It was a pleasure to welcome Jason Marshall from the Hawick Paper to receive personal thanks from Lucy Frazer MP, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
Jason is a fantastic local journalist who does incredible work to deliver local news to people in Hawick and across the Borders.
It is important that we recognise the importance of fair, accurate and high-quality reporting.
The work of the Hawick Paper is essential to keeping people informed about what's happening in the community.
