Are there any awards for investigative journalism?
We’ll be honest here. OK we’ve been honest all along, but this is the time to confess. We loathe awards ceremonies. All of them. Even the Oscars. We’d like to smash each and every tacky glass statuette against a brick wall and rip all those golden envelopes into tiny little pieces. Ahem, we’ve calmed down a bit now. Sorry, where were we? Oh yes, awards If you really are interested in that kind of thing (and who cares, really!), the Press Gazette (www.pressgazette.co.uk) runs the British Newspaper Awards. There is also a ceremony, which is broadcast on TV, conducted by the BBC’s What The Papers Say, while the PPA (www.ppa.co.uk) runs one for magazines. For information on other awards ceremonies, try Press Gazette or the other UK trade publication, Media Week www.mediaweek.co.uk.
