WHAT THE WINNERS SAY
Sir Michael Palin
There’s a great mixture here of people who have made programmes from all over the world and I find myself looking at them saying “Yes great you’ve done that….and that’s why these awards are so important.”
Malcolm Brinkworth – Brinkworth Productions
At a time when we are all under pressure wherever you are in the world, freedom of speech, freedom of journalism matters most….to celebrate the journalism going on around the world it is a humbling experience sitting in the audience.
Arja Haikonen – BBC –
It was amazing…we won again.
We got the news 1605 just a minute before Nuala started a live broadcast from Glasgow.
That was exciting, I think her guests thought she was a bit nuts!

Judges comments
How Indiscriminate Israeli Fire Killed Half a Family in Gaza – CNN Worldwide
Thorough journalism piecing together the evidence they had with expert analysis, eye witness reports and asking the right questions. It also demonstrated that journalists DO care about the people they meet.
The Push: Murder on the Cliff – Candour Prodcutions for Channel 4
Incredible access with a perfect balance of emotion, drama and insight. The pain felt by the family is combined with a fascinating window into the courtroom process. Expertly told.
Generation Kush – VOA 52 Documentary
Brilliantly insightful, fascinating, desperate. The combination of such an engaging lead contributor and up close and personal access, made this a hard-hitting but hopeful film. Well structured, filmed and edited.
