Vote for Cambrian News to Make a Difference

Cambrian News has proven its commitment to advocating for the people of mid and west Wales, and now this dedication is being recognized within the news media industry.

Industry Recognition

The News Media Association has shortlisted Cambrian News for its extensive coverage of poor healthcare services in the region in the annual Making A Difference Awards.

“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,” said Editor Mick O’Reilly.

Editor Mick O’Reilly noted that while competing against larger daily newspapers with broader audiences presents a challenge, Cambrian News remains persistent and impactful in addressing a critical issue for mid and west Wales.

Impact on Public Debate

The series highlighting underfunded and inadequate healthcare services elicited a response from First Minister Eluned Morgan, who insisted the region receives its fair share of resources. This sparked a political exchange, with MS Elin Jones accusing the First Minister of being out of touch with local realities ahead of the Senedd elections in May.
