I think News Channel of the year will go to BBC, or possible AJE, but certainly not sky. I actually think the single headed pres will have damaged their chances hugely, plus they cover such a narrow number of stories compared to the beeb.
News program of the year - the ten any day...
Presenter - perhaps Jon Snow (don't know Stewart White and Paxo's not done anything special last year)
No way should Sky get News Channel of the year, BBC News 24 has been much, much better this year. Ten should get programme of the year, Jon Snow for presenter. Innovation should probably go to Sky.com News as they have made a proper commitment to that, showing it 4 times a week. Scoop to BBC for Northern Rock and Martin Brunt or Nick Robinson for Specialist journalist.
Thought I might actually constructively contribute to this thread now;
Camera Operator of the Year
Dai Baker - Channel 4 News ITN for Channel 4
Darren Conway - BBC News BBC News for BBC One
Garwen McLuckie Sky News
With a name like that she/he/it (not really great with names and genders) deserves to win, besides the 'Conways' of this world don't seem to have had the best of luck of late.
Innovation
Sky.com News Sky News
Your News - Five News BSkyB for Five
School Report BBC News / BBC News Interactive
Your News feels a bit more established to Sky's effort, so that is why that gets my vote.
News - International
Iraq: Apache Company - Channel 4 News ITN & Guardian Films for Channel 4
Undercover In Zimbabwe - Newsnight BBC for BBC Two
Afghanistan: Taliban Embed - Al Jazeera English News Hour Al Jazeera English
A thoroughly enjoyable series for those who watched it, and genuinely an Al Jazeera exclusive, something they deserve alot of credit for.
