Twelve journalism students from the 国产视频 have been shortlisted for this year's Midlands Media Student Awards.
Launched with the aim of recognising future talent in broadcasting, journalism and photography, the awards take place on Thursday (April 21) in Birmingham.
Eighteen pieces of work from Worcester students, ranging from online publications and blogs to political news reporting, entertainment features and exclusives, have been selected.
Claire Wolfe, Head of Journalism at the University, said: "This is fantastic and follows success last year when 11 students were shortlisted with 17 submissions. It reflects well on the students and on the quality of journalism teaching being delivered at Worcester.
"Last year Rebecca Green won the overall Feature Writer of the Year category and Becca Husselbee was highly commended for her fashion blog."
The awards were introduced last year by Birmingham Press Club to mark its 150th anniversary.
Ed James, chairman of Birmingham Press Club, said: "The inaugural awards were very well received but this year entries have more than doubled."
