Journalist of the Year
In ’s
Simoney Kyriakou,
a clear favourite
emerged once the
online scoring element
had been completed in
the B2B section of this
category. What’s more,
there was no changing
the judges’ minds
when they sat down
to discuss the chances
of all the journalists
on this year’s shortlist.
“By submitting several
fabulous, interesting
articles Simoney is head and shoulders above her
shortlisted rivals this year,” one of the panellists
pointed out. A second judge could only concur
adding: “there was in-depth analysis throughout, good
balance and great sources. The insights presented are
really interesting and revealing.”
It was a close-run
thing in the consumer
element of this awards
category with Harvey
Jones’s submissions,
which appeared in
both the Daily and
Sunday Express,
eventually emerging
triumphant. “These
were really interesting
and engaging pieces
which were well
explained for people
who obviously
won’t be experts in a
sphere which can come across as complicated and
confusing,” one judge suggested. “There were plenty
of good points included in Harvey’s submissions and
the stories were backed up by independent views. He
doesn’t have much space to work with, but he has a
talent for packing in as much information as possible
for readers,” a second judge remarked.
