Launched in the wake of the hacking scandal to highlight the good that journalists do, the British Journalism Awards is unique because winners must show they have served the public interest. It is also open to all journalists wherever they work.
Since 2021 the British Journalism Awards has been free to enter for previously under-represented groups.
