The new Society of Editors Regional Press Awards is now open for entries.
Entries cost £25 (plus VAT) and the closing date is 8 March. An awards dinner is due to be held on 11 May.
The new event has come about after the rights to the Regional Press Awards (organised for many years by Press Gazette) were retained by our previous owner Wilmington, which opted not to continue holding the event. Last year the NUJ organised its own Regional Press Awards event.
It is not yet clear whether the NUJ will be holding its event this year (which last year was free to enter). But it looks unlikely after the Newspaper Society said its members had agreed not to enter any competing events.
More details here at www.theregionalpressawards.org.
It’s great news that the Society of Editors has managed to ensure that a national event celebrating the best of UK regional newspaper jourrnalism will continue. And it all helps a good cause as any profits from the Society of Editors Regional Press Awards will go to the Journalists’ Charity.

The Press Awards - the new event organised by the Newspaper Publishers Association and the Society of Editors to replace the British Press Awards - is now open for entries.
The closing date for entries is 24 January and the winners are due to be announced on 5 April at a new scaled-down “more exclusive gathering” at the Savoy Hotel in London.
Proceeds from the new event will go to the Society of Editors, with a proportion also going to the Journalists’ Charity. The judging process is being chaired by executive director of the Society of Editors Bob Satchwell.
There are 25 award categories along broadly similar lines to the old British Press Awards. There is no journalist of the year prize but there will be a new lifetime achievement award. The front page of the year category has been re-introduced.
The British Press Awards were run by Press Gazette for many years but the rights to hold the event were retained by Press Gazette’s former owner’s Wilmington following our sale to Progressive Media in April 2008. The British Press Awards was run by Wilmington last year. The new event came about after the the NPA decided it no longer wanted to work with Wilmington on the British Press Awards.
The new awards cost £126 to enter (£48 for freelances).

The “skill, courage and enterprise” of freelance news camera operators was honoured last night at the Rory Peck Awards.
As Marie Colvin noted in her moving address to the memorial service for 49 journalists and media workers killed covering conflict for British readers and viewers this century:
“In an age of 24-7 rolling news, blogs and twitters, we are on constant call wherever we are. But war reporting is still essentially the same – someone has to go there and see what is happening. You can’t get that information without going to places where people are being shot at, and others are shooting at you.”
Nowhere are her sentiments more evident than with these videos:
NAJIBULLAH QURAISHI – WINNER, RORY PECK AWARD FOR FEATURES
Behind Enemy Lines Shot in Afghanistan, October - November 2009, Clover Films for Channel 4 - Dispatches
Najibullah Quraishi’s film documents the two weeks he spent with Hezb-i-Islami, Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters in the troubled Kunduz and Baghlan provinces in Afghanistan. Witnessing dramatic attacks on NATO supply routes, Najibullah also captures the day-to-day lives of the insurgents - complaints of boredom, the cold, and arguments with their commanders. Eventually however, one of the commanders becomes suspicious of Najibullah’s motives and, fearing for his life, he is forced to flee the camp.
