University to honour daily journalist as part of historic celebrations
Award-winner works for two sister titles
A daily newspaper journalist is set to be honoured as part of a university's 57th anniversary celebration.
The University of Glasgow will award an honorary degree to David Pratt, who works for Glasgow-based dailies The Herald and The National.
David, pictured, covers foreign affairs for the two Newsquest dailies.
A journalist for four decades, he specialises in sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab and Islamic world, conflict, security and humanitarian issues.
David has twice been named Reporter and Feature Writer of the Year at the Scottish Press Awards.
Professor Andy Schofield, principal and vice chancellor at the university, said: “Honorary degrees give us the opportunity to recognise individuals whose achievements have had a profound and positive impact within their professions and wider society.
"Their work embodies values that continue to inspire our community.
“I am delighted to welcome our honorary graduates into the University of Glasgow community at such a significant milestone, and to celebrate them alongside our graduating students.”
