Irish Farmers Monthly deputy editor, Bernie Commins, has been shortlisted in the Best Visual Report category for her feature, ‘Remembering People and Places’.
Best of luck to all nominees on the night.
The biennial awards recognise journalists for their outstanding work in national and regional media, along with consultants in the communications sector, across nine different categories. This year’s independent judging panel was chaired by former RTÉ Radio editor, Tom McGuire, along with Maeve Dineen (communications consultant and former journalist), Joe Healy (former IFA president and chair of the Agri-Food Regulator), Michele Filippi (PR consultant), and Anne-Marie Butler (head of education, Teagasc).
Commenting, chair of the Guild of Agricultural Journalists, Stella Meehan said: “The quality and calibre of agricultural journalism throughout the island of Ireland has been suitably recognised by this year’s shortlist.
“The diversity of entries has been fantastic and we’re looking forward to celebrating the best of agri-media at the awards ceremony on November 28. We are, as always, grateful to FBD for its continuing support of these prestigious awards.”
In addition to cash prizes for each category winner, a prized bronze trophy, 'The Bull', will be presented to the category winner whose exceptional merit will be recognised by the adjudicating panel.
