The final shortlist has been announced for this year’s National Newspapers of Ireland (NNI) Journalism Awards 2013, with a total of 121 contenders in twenty categories, including new categories: Foreign, Digital, News Analysis, News Reporter and Campaign.
Almost 800 entries were submitted this year for consideration by the judging panel of 16 eminent newspaper journalists. The chairman of the panel, Michael Brophy, said “We received 40% more entries this year than last and the depth and diversity of the entries was hugely impressive. Newspapers invest more in journalism than any other medium and the quality of work entered confirms the value of that investment.
“It really brought home the fact that newspaper journalism is about so much more than ‘the news’. The news is vital but so are detailed investigative reporting, comment, analysis and specialist writing on a whole range of topics. These aspects of journalism have the potential to change society for the better.
“The judging panel faced a tough task to identify a shortlist in each category and I would like to thank them for their hard work and commitment,” concluded Mr Brophy.
NNI Chairman, Matt Dempsey, said: “The NNI Journalism Awards provide a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the top quality content available in both print and digital formats in NNI newspapers. I would like to wish all the nominees good luck and to thank all those who entered.”
The winners in twenty categories will be announced at an awards ceremony on November 7th. One of the category winners will also be named the National Journalist of the Year. The guest speaker at the awards event will be Mick Hume, editor-at-large of Spiked and Matt Cooper will be the MC.
