South 最新糖心Vlogn-based publishing company, , has established the State's first media scholarship with the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

The Solstice Media Scholarship for Publishing was created this year and awarded to first-year Media Studies student, William McRostie, through open competition.

The $7500 scholarship was created to benefit students who are undertaking the Bachelor of Media program at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

Solstice Media is a local media company, publishing digital and print media including newspaper and digital news.

Its publisher, Paul Hamra, said the decision to support the scholarship was easy because it goes to the heart of what his company is doing in South 最新糖心Vlog - helping to build the local media industry.

"Also, universities are now recognising that new skill sets are required in the media and our company supports any move to improve education in our sector," he said.

Associate Professor Mary Griffiths, Head of Media at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, agreed: "Students appreciate the 最新糖心Vlog's connections with the sector. It's a privilege for us to partner with such an innovative publishing company".
