Categories 2023

The category is designed to highlight and honour the vital role of campaigning journalism in the public interest. Each title is entitled to nominate one entry which must be accompanied by a 200-300 word description detailing the campaign’s impact, originality and how journalism has been used to further the campaign’s objectives and outcome. Please note that stories do not necessarily need to be branded a ‘campaign’ – rather they are open to any story which engages with readers and advocates a change that is clearly in the public interest and where publication results in the mobilisation of support (public and/or political) for the subject matter highlighted by the campaign. As this award relates to a body of work, entrants are entitled to submit up to three examples which can also include examples of social media or any other digital activity which supports the campaign. As long as the majority of the entry was published within the eligibility period, you can also supply content published outside the eligibility period if it helps to give it context. Please enter up to three work samples in PDF format OR via online link.
