Channel 4 News wins BT Journalism Award
A Channel 4 News report into the rising risk of credit card fraud has won Best Security Story at the BT Information Security Journalism Awards 2012.
Technology Producer Geoff White made the report with former Technology Correspondent Benjamin Cohen; it examined how millions of British bank customers have been exposed to fraud through the latest credit and debit card technology.
In an email to staff, Head of Home News Rachel Jupp said:
“Our successful awards season continues…
“The film beat off competition from the BBC and Sky News, and was described by the judges as: ‘Impactful, engagingly told, and really brought home the issue of information security to the viewer.’
“The awards are designed to recognise information security journalism in the UK and honour specific journalists who have demonstrated leadership, innovation and excellence. Well done Geoff.”
