Hosted by journalist and presenter Cathy Newman, the prestigious awards will take place on Wednesday 23 February 2022 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London and will celebrate creative and excellent journalism for both news and current affairs.

ITV leads the way with 16 nominations across the 19 categories, closely followed by the BBC with 14 and Sky News with 11. Both BBC News Channel and Sky News, along with Al Jazeera English, are in the running for the prestigious News Channel of the Year award, with Sky News’ Nick Martin also nominated for Specialist Journalist of Year, alongside Victoria Macdonald for Channel 4 News and Daniel Hewitt for ITV News.

The awards will also celebrate impactful Breaking News coverage, with ‘Storming the Capitol’ for ITV News, ‘The Killing of Sir David Amess’ for Sky News, and CNN International’s ‘The Assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse’ all being recognised in this category. ITV News’ ‘Storming the Capitol’ also received a nod for Scoop of the Year, as well as their coverage ‘Amazon’ and CNN International’s ‘Ethiopia; Exposing All The Hallmarks of a Genocide’.

The 2022 nominations for the highly anticipated Young Talent of the Year include Noel Phillips for Good Morning Britain, Marianna Spring for BBC News and Mickey Carroll for Sky News.

Chair of the Awards, Simon Bucks, said: “The breadth and quality of the entries this year once again confirms the RTS Television Journalism Awards as the gold standard in our industry. Although our lives were again dominated by Covid throughout 2021 the vast majority of nominations are on non-Covid topics – powerful evidence of flourishing and wide-ranging journalism. The Awards on February 23rd will be a marvellous opportunity to celebrate this success.”
