The RTS Television Journalism Awards celebrate creative and excellent journalism in UK news and current affairs, both by organisations broadcasting in the UK and by companies which supply UK news broadcasters.

The 2012 awards saw a host of television professionals competing in 22 categories for a coveted Royal Television Society Award. The awards recognise the huge variety of skills and processes involved in programme production, from costume design and digital effects to editing and lighting.

The RTS Craft & Design Awards 2012 were chaired by Nigel Pickard, Chief Executive Officer, Zodiak M.E.E.A and UK, Kids and Family. The awards ceremony, which was hosted by British TV presenter Laura Hamilton, took place on Monday 26 November at The Savoy, London.
