Press Gazette is proud to reveal the shortlists for the British Journalism Awards 2025, supported by headline sponsor Starling Bank.
Now in its 14th year, this event recognises great journalism that serves the public interest regardless of the platform via which it is published.
The 70 independent British Journalism Awards judges compiled these shortlists after considering more than 600 entries over the last three weeks. This week they held jury-style meetings to reach agreement on the shortlists and winners.
Some categories had 50 or more high-quality entries so making the shortlist of finalists is an impressive achievement.
The British Journalism Awards are supported by headline sponsor Starling Bank as well as Amazon, The People’s Postcode Lottery, Find Out Now and Journalist.net.
The 2025 finalists come from across the world of UK journalism including national newspapers, TV, radio, podcasts, regional newsbrands, specialist websites and newsletter-based start-ups.
To be eligible the work must have been produced primarily for a UK audience and published between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025.
The judges were asked to consider whether work brought important new information to light, had an impact, demonstrated skill and rigour, and both served the public interest and was interesting to the public.
The winners will be announced at a gala dinner hosted by Radio 2 presenter Jeremy Vine at London’s Hilton Bankside on Thursday 11 December.
Winners for the Public Service Journalism Award, Marie Colvin Award and Journalist of the Year (sponsored by Starling Bank) will be announced on the night with no shortlist.
A separate shortlist for News Provider of the Year (sponsored by The People’s Postcode Lottery) will be published at a later date following a second round of judging.
