SPA trustee Geri Scott said: “We’re incredibly grateful to News Associates for coming on board as our headline sponsor again this year. In our 10th anniversary we’re on course to have the biggest and best SPA national conference ever, and none of it would be possible without the generous support of sponsors like News Associates. Every year their sessions are extremely popular, and we’re thrilled they’re back again this year.”

News Associates editorial development manager Lucy Dyer said: “We’re so pleased to continue supporting student journalists – the dedication they put into their publications amazes me year after year and they deserve recognition.

“I’m especially chuffed to be heading to Glasgow for (potentially) the biggest SPA National Conference yet!”

SPA trustee Jem Collins said in 2022: “News Associates has long been a supporter of the SPA and I’ve seen first-hand the amazing work they do. We can’t wait to have them at the conference.”
