The public service accolade at the British Journalism Awards 2022 has been given to journalists for UK media who have reported from the ground in Ukraine this year.

The public service journalism award is a special prize given by Press Gazette and the Journalists’ Charity to honour work by those who “most memorably raised the reputation of our trade over the last year”, award host Jeremy Vine said at London’s Hilton Park Lane on Thursday night.

Vine told the audience: “This year’s award does not go to a single journalist or even a single news organisation, but to a group who have done more than any other to serve the public interest this year – not just in the UK, but worldwide.”
