Today was the turn of our Trustees to take on judging the #RoryPeckAwards. The Martin Adler Prize supported by the Swedish Embassy in London, recognises the work of a local freelance journalist or field producer.

Judging the #RoryPeckAwards began today with our News Features category. Experts from ITV News, Sky News, @johnschofieldtrust.bsky.social and our #freelance alum Sahar Zand, came together for the very difficult task of deciding just 3 finalists from an outstanding longlist. 😬

📢The 2026 #RoryPeckAwards longlists are out!

A huge thank you to every #freelance journalist and news outlet that submitted their powerful, vital coverage from the past year.
