Prince’s Trust LocalReporting Award competition for 2002, in association
j M . 'X ■<~r . . ,
Prince’s Trust is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, a fact which makes me feel rather older than I would
wish! . But we know from our
experience over the years that thousands of young peo-' pie all over the country are endeavouring to put some thing back into the areas where they live - whether through community work, innovative local projects or their own small enterprises. Yet - except in the region-

Local Reporting Award, which we launched two years ago during Local Newspaper Week, is trying to do some thing to put that right by allowing young writers to celebrate the good and positive, role of young people in their

newspapers are at the very heart of the communities they serve. They help to build communities and to keep them together, by developing news, features and campaigns out of the shared

and successes. This award recognises these unique
strengths in local reporting, focusing on inspiring stories about young people and their achievements. These stories are published in local papers and sub mitted to a national judging panel. The first awards were presented this
year. My overwhelming impression was of the high quality of the
journalists, some by young men and women who had never been published before. All-had something passionate to say about what young peo ple were achieving in the area in which they lived. The winning stories includ

1 A prolonged campaign on the part of regional publishers and edi tors over the past year has succeed ed in persuading the government to abandon plans which would have enabled local authority executives to meet in private when discussing key decisions. Now local councils all over the'country have respond ed to calls from their local papers to routinely meet in public. Regional press campaigning and
investigating also led to such stories as Don Hale’s campaign in the Mat- lock Mercury to free Stephen Downing and the Manchester

It provides the means for a multiplicity of voic es to be heard. At national, regional and local level, it is expected to be the public’s watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, enter tainer and contemporary chronicler. .

same degree of intimidation or cen sorship some of their overseas counterparts. But they do face a range of legal restrictions which inhibit freedom of expression. These include the libel laws, offi
