Amnesty International Media Awards 2011: the winners

By Press Gazette

The Belfast Telegraph won an award for its coverage of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry at last night’s Amnesty International Media Awards 2011.

Other winners included Channel 4 News, The Independent, The Guardian, and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.

The awards recognise ‘excellence in human rights reporting’and journalism’s ‘contribution to the public’s awareness and understanding of human rights issues”.

Amnesty International UK director Kate Allen said: ‘This was the 20th year of our awards and it was a vintage year for human rights journalism.

‘With entries of the highest calibre in category after category it was a hard job for our judges to pick the winners. The awards are fantastic tribute to some of the best journalists in the trade.”

The awards were hosted by BBC Six O’clock News presenter George Alagiah at the British Film Institute in central London.
