A TRAINEE journalist from Darlington College of Technology has won top honours in shorthand.
Katie Campling, 19, won the prize from the National Council for the Training of Journalists for best performing student in the country.
Katie, who works for the Driffield Times and Post, achieved 120 words per minute, with 100 per cent accuracy. Only two others out of the hundreds who entered for the prize scored full marks.
One of the runners up, Jonathan Goode, of the Banbury Guardian, and more than a third of the 35 trainees commended by the NCTJ, were also trained at the Darlington college.
