Pensions Journalist of the Year (B2B)
Winner
Martin George, Local Government Chronicle
As the judges made clear, the future of local government pensions matters to Martin’s readers, and the clarity of his writing, backed by meticulous research, ensures they are well informed and empowered because of reading his work. “This entry stands out for its exceptional investigative strength and clear, demonstrable impact on decision makers. His reporting directly prompted the government to commit to changing statutory regulations, which is rare and compelling evidence of journalism shaping policy,” commented one judge.
There was unstinting praise from the panel: “Overall, this is one of the most compelling and influential entries submitted, combining genuine exclusives with tangible sector consequences.” Another judge added: “All three submissions contain genuinely new information or exclusives that other outlets missed, showing strong investigative instincts, effective sourcing and an ability to uncover material buried in committee papers and technical documentation.”
