AWARDS
2017
Consumer Money Journalist
of the Year
Winner
Rob Goodman, Which? Money/Which?
This category often features a quintet of names
with high-calibre submissions across the board
and the shortlist of contenders for the 2017
version did not disappoint making the efforts
of the winner all the more commendable. By
the end of the first round of scoring, the judges
were focusing on a pair of names from which
the eventual winner was most likely to emerge.
After much analysis, the panel decided the spoils
should go to
Rob Goodman
for his work on
Which? Money and Which?
“Rob’s submissions contained some big pieces
with lots of news interest, plenty of research and
good graphics,” one judge commented. “There
is a high level of consistency to Rob’s work and
what’s more he also manages to incorporate
great graphics and charts into his features. Money
journalists ought to adopt this default position as
a matter of course, but it’s amazing those that
don’t,” a second judge pointed out. “I liked the
angle he took on individual savings accounts. It
was a departure from what can often produce
some pretty well-worn themes. There was good
use of data alongside the main thrust of his piece
about post offices and financial services,” a third
panellist remarked.
