City College’s Danny wins NCTJ award

20 September 2011

Danny Bell, who graduated from City College Brighton and Hove this summer, has won the NCTJ (National Council for the Training of Journalists) Public Affairs Award for 2010-11. Danny received a certificate and a cheque for £250 sponsored by Oxford University Press, in recognition of his exceptional performance in the Essential Public Affairs exam.

Speaking about his win, Danny said: 'I am delighted to have won this year's prize. The Public Affairs module was challenging and gave everyone in my class a thorough grounding in current affairs as well as local and central government. Karen Dugdale, our teacher, was first class.'
