AMAZING

Fully deserved, even they didn’t mention the articles she writes about that issue that cannot be mentioned Grin.

I find the name of the prize exceptionally pleasing, considering how brave she is. Big congratulations from me. Not that I'd imagine she cares much for my approval of course!

Yay, well done Janice.

Her coverage of the care homes scandal has been excellent too.

RoyalCorgi · 09/07/2020 11:41

I think with these prizes you submit particular articles for consideration - they don't just choose them at random. So she'll have made a deliberate decision to enter those three articles, not the ones she's done on gender.

Wonderful. Congratulations Janice. Such a refreshing change to see that they haven’t allowed the present day bullies to influence their decision.

I'd really like to know what it is about Janice Turner's journalism that saw her winning as opposed to the prize going to Owen Jones.

SophocIestheFox · 09/07/2020 11:49

That’s brilliant, well done Janice!

(You’re on here, aren’t you Grin don’t worry, we won’t tell)

I really want to read the article about clearing the family home - anyone got a share token please?

Because it’s a prize for journalism, not ideological activism.
heathspeedwell · 09/07/2020 12:02

Wonderful news. Janice is a gifted writer with true integrity and a huge amount of courage!

I bet LOJ will be really miffed at her winning. But yes, as others have said, diatribes and grandstanding isn't journalism so he probably wasn't in with much of a shot.
