Awards for `Independent' journalists
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Two journalists at The Independent and The Independent on Sunday have won awards for their reporting on social services.
Roger Dobson was named Journalist of the Year in the 1996 British Social Services Media Awards for his series of articles on child abuse scandals in North Wales. The judges praised Mr Dobson's "classic investigative reporting, excellent content, the digging-out mastery and presentation of a large volume of fact... A journalist who refused to give up".
The judges also highly commended Glenda Cooper for her coverage of care in the community, describing it as an "insightful and graphic account of the issues of the mentally ill in the community. It is hard not to be affected by her journalistic skills".
The awards, co-ordinated by the social services organisation, Jewish Care, were presented yesterday by Chris Smith, shadow health secretary.
