The innovation category is pretty weak. If the best they can find is C4's Snowmail - a concept that's been going for years - then god help us.


Not sure what 'Salam Pax – GuardianFilms/Newsnight for BBC Two' is, but purely on an innovation basis, I can't see there's much contest between the ITV News semi-virtual set and C4 Snowmail! Hasn't email been going for decades? The ITV News set is just a tad more innovative than that...


I think Salam Pax was the Iraqi Blogger that Newsnight featured through the reconstruction of Iraq. He films his own reports and they are quite good and I have always found them really interesting. I would like to see him win.


Sounds good (I didn't see it), but in what way was it innovative?

Hmm, I think thats a pretty good question, I think properely because something like that hasn't really been done before in such an in-depth manner.

Does the Tsunami coverage not qualify? it did happen in 2004 and there was excellent coverage from BBC, Sky and ITN.


Thats what I was thinking. Also it seems a shame that the BBC 's coverege of the Beslan siege didnt get a nomination.

The rules state that the event must have happened before November 2004.

the reports had their own little style to them. They were quite seperate from normal newsnight coverage but gave a hell of a lot of detail.
