I think Nina Hossain is expected to be her stand in.


Who's getting the night off their bulletins then - it's Geraint and Mary on the Evening News.

To continue the trend...

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
No idea to be honest, don't know who they are - and on a related note, I do think these people do need to be acknowledged during their reports. Cameramen are often the people who put their lives on the line to bring us the news: their name on screen for a couple of seconds, done subtly, would be a move forward I think.

Innovation
Sky.com News Sky News
Your News - Five News BSkyB for Five
School Report BBC News / BBC News Interactive
I wouldn't vote for any of these as they're hardly innovative.

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
Didn't see the AJE one, but the Channel 4 report was better than the BBC one - hardly Simpson at his best.

News Channel of the Year
Al Jazeera English
BBC News 24 BBC News for BBC News 24
Sky News
News 24 just gets better and better - until recently with the disruption, but before that it was on top form. Sky has completely lost it, and I don't understand the point of AJE. If I wanted a Middle East spin on the news, I'd go and live in Qatar or somewhere.

News Programme of the Year
Five News 1730 BSkyB for Five
Ten O'clock News BBC News for BBC One
ITV Evening News ITN for ITV News
It's the only decent BBC bulletin left unfortunately, but this hasn't made it any lazier.

Presenter of the Year
Jeremy Paxman - Newsnight BBC for BBC Two
Jon Snow - Channel 4 News ITN for Channel 4
Stewart White BBC Look East
Newsnight is just one of the most thought provoking programmes on air, and when Paxos on it's entertaining too.

Scoop of the Year
The Hunt For Captain Nairac - Spotlight BBC Northern Ireland
MTAS: Security Breaches - Channel 4 News ITN for Channel 4
Northern Rock - BBC News BBC News for BBC News 24 & BBC One
Another entertaining character Mr Peston - he blew everyone else out of the water with this, but I got a little bit worried if it was in danger of making the news instead of reporting it. Couldn't it be argued that had Mr Peston stayed quiet then Northern Rock would be in a far better situation now?

Specialist Journalist
Martin Brunt Sky News
Martin Geissler - ITV News ITN for ITV1
Nick Robinson - BBC News BBC News for BBC One & BBC News 24
None of these really. Robinson gets on my tits. I think Matt Frei's coverage of the US has been excellent - is he a specialist journalist?

Television Journalist of the Year
Alex Crawford Sky News
Emma Hurd Sky News
John Ray - ITV News ITN for ITV1
Dunno!

Young Journalist of the Year
Nima Elbagir - More4 News / Channel 4 News ITN for Channel 4/More4
Hamish Macdonald - Al Jazeera English News Hour Al Jazeera English
Haru Mutasa - Al Jazeera English News Hour Al Jazeera English
Again, dunno.

When do we usually find out the results?

Normally between 9:30-10pm

Its Katie Derham with Sir Trev.

How do we find out who's won? Does someone here have an inside, or are we waiting for one of the channels to announce that they've won?

RTS have a website, don't they not?

Yeah but I doubt it's updated very often. They prob wait til tomorrow to update it.

Well I remember last year Martin Popplewell revealed on Sky News they'd won it, and I'm sure that it was near to 10pm. We'll soon know if they've won it, that breaking news ticker will be put right into action!

Sky are once again News Channel of the Year.
Congratulations.

WHAT

What a shocking decision, if unsurprising. They're the Man Utd of TV news.
