2022 IN REVIEW: Justice Media Awards
Mary Carolan and Simon Carswell of the Irish Times took the overall prize at the Justice Media Awards 2022, for their article ‘Inside the District Courts’, as the awards ceremony made a welcome return to Blackhall Place after a COVID-induced hiatus.
Highlighting ongoing issues within the Courts Service, the judges said that the piece offered unique insights and access to the judiciary.
“To achieve this access, it is clear that trust had been established, and that the reputation of the journalists preceded them,” they added.
This year saw a record 277 entries across 15 award categories, which included two new categories: podcast, and environmental/climate justice reporting.
