GOLD

BRONZE

The Sheffield Floods 2007

Producer/Presenter: Kate Linderholm
Editor: Gary Keown

A wonderful example of how radio, at short notice, and on scarce resources can tell a story with such clarity that it is almost narrative, yet with an enviable dispassionate approach.

BBC Radio Sheffield

Gun Crime

Editor: Christian Spooner
Reporter/Researcher: Lucy Watson
Producer: Christian Spooner
Writers: Lucy Watson & Christian Spooner

A very moving story, with powerful testimony that gave the story room to breath, and tapped into the mood of the community in a way rarely heard on commercial radio.
