Derek Masterton, media relations officer for the Red Cross in Scotland, is quoted as saying: "Despite the upheavals journalism and journalists are facing in Scotland, the quality of work certainly hasn't suffered - testament to the professionalism of journalists in all areas of the media. The judges had a really hard task in deciding the winners."
