RTS Television Journalism Awards 2025

The prestigious awards ceremony was held this evening at the London Hilton on Park Lane and hosted by journalist and novelist Tom Bradby.

Across the 20 categories, ITV led the way with eight wins including Camera Person of the Year, Emerging Young Talent of the Year and News Coverage – International for their investigation of the war in the Middle East. Following closely behind was the BBC with six awards, with its coverage of the Trump assassination attempt receiving the Breaking News award, and Guy Lynn winning the Nations and Regions Reporter of the Year.

The inaugural Digital Journalism award was presented to the BBC for its groundbreaking investigation into The Cult of TB Joshua, as the jury recognised the project’s effective strategy to deliver the story to a hard-to-reach audience. For 2025, the Outstanding Contribution Award was presented to ITV’s former Director of News and Current Affairs Michael Jermey to recognise his many career accomplishments, such as reinventing ITV’s News at Ten as a single presenter show and creating the broadcaster’s hour-long early evening news.

Adrian Wells, Chair of the RTS Television Journalism Awards, said: “This year's winners of the RTS Television Journalism Awards demonstrate the best our incredibly strong industry can offer. Enterprise, bravery and originality are evident across all the categories, which this year have set a new benchmark in quality. News media organisations based in the UK are world-class in video journalism, and these awards are an incredible tribute to the journalists and organisations leading the broadcast video industry, whom the RTS is delighted to recognise and celebrate.”
