Digital Publishing Awards

The AOP Award for Inspiring Local Journalism sponsored by Google News Initiative

This award recognises the value of local journalism and its contribution to society. The AOP invites entries from regional publishers for journalists who are proving that investigative and campaigning journalism is alive and well in the communities of the UK. Our jury will also be looking for journalists who recognise the added power that digital publishing provides for the amplification of local stories and the building of local communities around great journalistic content. Publishers are invited to nominate their most promising journalists, or journalists may nominate themselves. In either case, please provide two specific pieces of supporting materials: [1] a testimonial from a senior representative of the publisher, [2] a statement from the nominee on what inspires them to do better in their role. This category is free to enter.
