Jeff Salway completes hat-trick of wins

JEFF Salway, The Scotsman's personal finance editor, has been named the regional journalist of the year at the Headlinemoney awards.

It was the third successive win for Salway, who was presented with the award at London's Park Lane Hilton on Wednesday night after seeing off competition from newspapers including the Herald, London's Evening Standard and the Yorkshire Post.

Salway, who edits The Scotsman's Smart Money section, which appears every Wednesday, was praised by one of the judges for producing articles that are "always relevant, interesting and informative".

Another added: "For me, there is still a fair amount of clear water between the editorial he has put together and some of the entries we have seen from his nearest rivals."
