A GCU journalism graduate has become the first female editor of The National newspaper.

Laura Webster, who graduated from our acclaimed BA Multimedia Journalism in 2019, was previously news and features editor on the Newsquest-owned daily title.

Callum Baird, editor-in-chief of Newsquest Scotland, and Stewart Ward, the company's new managing editor, are also GCU graduates.

Laura said: "I've always been grateful for my time at GCU, it absolutely prepared me for joining a newsroom. I would recommend the Multimedia Journalism course to anyone interested in the media."
