Guardian newspaper is given award for excellence in disability journalism

The Guardian newspaper has won an award for excellence in journalism.

With the Leveson Inquiry now well under way and the British press under scrutiny, it’s easy to think badly of all newspapers – particularly when you hear how upsetting it was for the Dowlers who believed Milly was still alive and checking her voicemails. So it’s nice when a newspaper is praised for something positive.

Those of you with The Guardian and The Observer newspaper subscriptions will already know that it’s an award-winning newspaper, but now The Guardian has one more award under its belt.

The latest is a People’s Choice award for journalistic excellence from The Ability Media International awards. The award ceremony was held at London Studios and attendees included the likes of Dame Maggie Smith, television producer Anna Home and film-maker Mike Leigh.

The awards were created by the Leonard Cheshire Disability charity. The awards are to recognise "creatively excellent work that has either been produced by disabled people or promotes a greater understanding of disability issues".

Jane Jutsum, Leonard Cheshire Disability Innovative Projects director and co-organiser of the AMI awards, said: "The Guardian has an impressive record in its coverage of disability issues. Its features and news coverage are thoughtful, entertaining, rigorous and enlightened and demonstrate the inclusion and journalistic responsibility not always apparent in our national press."

Of course, if you receive The Guardian and The Observer newspaper subscription, you’ll agree that their journalism is always spot on.
