The latest of several 2024 editorial awards is reflective of
TechTarget’s continued commitment to delivering high quality,
independent editorial to B2B technology audiences worldwide
Leading technology media and purchase intent-driven marketing
and sales services company TechTarget, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTGT) today
announced that Computer WeeklyTM, its leading source of news,
analysis, opinion and information for millions of IT
decision-makers in Europe, was awarded an Orwell Special Prize as
part of the annual Orwell Prizes – one of the most prestigious
awards programs in British journalism. The Orwell Prizes were
established in the name of George Orwell by the Orwell Foundation
to recognize the very best in political and investigative writing
in journalism, fiction and non-fiction. Although the Orwell Prizes
are an annual program, the exceptional Orwell Special Prize is
rarely given, with the last one being awarded in 2017. Computer
Weekly specifically won the award for the breaking of the British
Post Office Scandal - one of the largest miscarriages of justice in
British history - and for “sustained, impactful and diligent
investigation and reportage of that story for many, many
years”.
Previous winners of the Orwell Special Prize include some the
most well-respected British publishers and media outlets like the
BBC, The Sunday Times and The Observer.
This story, first broken by former Computer Weekly reporter
Rebecca Thompson in 2009 and covered actively by Chief Reporter and
Senior Editor Karl Flinders since 2010, has played a major part in
spurring unprecedented government action and was part of the
inspiration for 2024’s ITV 4-part UK drama Mr. Bates vs. The Post
Office. Computer Weekly has written more than 400 articles on the
British Post Office Scandal over the last 15 years.
“We’re immensely proud to be the publication that broke a story
of this magnitude and wide-ranging impact across our market,” said
Bryan Glick, Editor in Chief, Computer Weekly. “Sometimes
campaigning, investigative journalism takes time – for Computer
Weekly it’s been 15 years since we first exposed the Post Office
scandal. To be recognized alongside the legends of British
journalism who have won the Orwell Special Prize is a testament to
the knowledge and quality of our editorial team, past and
present.”
This latest honor caps an incredible year of recognition for
TechTarget’s world-class global team of journalists and editors,
including:
- The British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) - Campaign of
the Year; Science, Health and Technology Writer of the Year – Karl
Flinders
- UK Association of Online Publishers (AOP) - Journalist of the
Year – Karl Flinders
- American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) – 31
National and Regional 2024 “Azbee” Awards
