Headline of the month – you heard about it?

APOLOGIES. The very popular Headline of the Month competition run by allmediascotland, in association with whisky folk, Whyte & Mackay, has been allowed to slip off the radar these last couple of weeks.

Apologies. The very popular ‘Headline of the month’ competition run by allmediascotland, in association with whisky folk, Whyte & Mackay, has been allowed to slip off the radar these last couple of weeks.

It’s because there’s lots of behind-the-scenes stuff going on, to improve the AMS offering – which will be launched soon. The eNewsletter is also proving a victim of the developmental work currently ongoing.

So, thanks to those of you who have sent contenders these last two or three weeks; they will have their moment any day now.

And to help kick-start proceedings, here’s a headline from yesterday’s Edinburgh Evening News, penned by editor, Tom Little, and nominated by Ashley Davies, the obituaries and letters and obituaries editor at Scotsman Publications.

It reads: ‘Lies, Tram Lies and Statistics?’.

Up for grabs each month are bottles of Whyte & Mackay Special whisky – for both the author of the headline and the person who has nominated it, with the monthly winners entered in a ‘Headline of the year’ competition where two bottles, each worth £150, of Whyte & Mackay 30 year-old are the prizes.

Eligible are headlines in Scottish newspapers (national and local), plus Scottish magazines and online.
