Congratulations to Isaan Khan, Daily Mail for winning the Young Journalist of the Year National – in association with the Journalists’ Charity at last nights ( Nov 12) Media Freedom Awards with Highly Commended being awarded to Sophie Huskisson, The Mirror. 

Martin Brunt, long serving crime correspondent with Sky News, is “still a hack at heart”.

That was his metier as he told a Journalists’ Charity lunch at Edgbaston Golf Club in Birmingham how tricky it was to convert from newspapers to the world of television.

You faced “much more scrutiny”. Only a moment away from looking stupid.

Especially if, told by the bosses you appeared scruffy on air, somehow you “never got the grooming bit,” he joked. 
That never mattered if you were good enough to break angles on appalling cases such as Fred and Rosemary West, the killing of Jill Dando, the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the Soham murders … Martin covered them all in a career spanning 35 years.

We are delighted to announce that Mishal Husain has received the BJR’s Charles Wheeler Award for Outstanding Contribution to Broadcast Journalism last night ( November 7) at the University of Westminster. Presented by Shirin and Marina Wheeler in honour of their late father.
