Dharshini David and Caroline Bayley, winners of the Audio prize; John Burn-Murdoch, Journalist of the Year; and Tim Robinson and Matt Bardo, winners of the Video Journalism prize
John Burn-Murdoch – Journalist of the Year
Winning journalist of the year at the Wincott Awards was the highlight of my career. It was an immense privilege just to be shortlisted alongside so many people who I have always looked up to, and I couldn’t quite believe it when the winner was announced!
Peter Ranscombe – Journalist of the Year, Nations and Regions
Winning the Nations & Regions prize at the Wincott Awards was a huge boost to my confidence. As a freelancer, it’s often hard to gauge the progress I’m making as a writer while I continue to hone my craft, and so the validation from the judges was invaluable.
Off the back of the award, lots of former colleagues have got back in touch with me, and I hope some of those contacts will lead to further commissions in the future.
Matt Bardo – Video Journalism Award
The Wincott awards are all about the kind of diligent and effective business journalism that matters now more than ever.Our Panorama programme on the Post Office scandal drew on years of investigation and it was a big honour for it to be recognised in this way.
Dharshini David – Audio Journalism Award
The Wincott Awards truly are the “Oscars” of financial journalism. Winning the 2022 Audio Prize was the ultimate accolade – especially given an illustrious field, the breadth of which reflected that our specialism isn’t just about the balance sheet but every aspect of modern life.
