@markaustintv Agreed! Shame you just missed out on that category criteria...

This year’s Special Award goes to “one of the finest journalists of his generation,” said the jury, @BBCSteveR, @BBCNews’ Russia Editor. “Our media industry is often criticised for not sticking with stories, for moving on too quickly to the next breaking news. But not our winner of this award. He has demonstrated devotion to his patch and a depth of expertise that is unrivalled. He has chosen to base himself in a country that he loves but nevertheless places him under daily intimidation and danger” #RTSAwards

Network Television Journalist of the Year goes to @SkyNews’ @YousraElbagir! “The winner tonight is someone who has dedicated themselves to reporting on a conflict which hasn't had enough headlines,” said the jury #RTSAwards
