The Association of International Broadcasters (AIB) has revealed the winners of its 19th annual awards, the AIBs, at an awards evening in London. The awards recognise the best international journalism and factual productions across TV, radio, and digital platforms.
In his opening address, AIB chief executive Simon Spanswick said: This competition is needed more than ever, as we face a world in increasing chaos and danger. In many areas, that chaos and danger threaten media freedom and the ability of journalists to hold power to account. That's why journalists and producers need to shout about their work and remind everyone about the importance of journalism and the need to bring stories to global audiences.
Collecting the award for the Specialist Factual TV/Video category was Sir Michael Palin, who was rewarded for his programme Michael Palin: Into Iraq. Commenting on the awards night, Sir Michael said: I'm interested in news, and I'm interested in how people report on different places. What struck me tonight is the very difficult areas which these people have gone into, to reveal what's really going on.
