The winners of the Willis Towers Watson Media Awards were announced yesterday (13 July) during an evening ceremony at the Willis Towers Watson offices in central London.

The Publication of the Year categories are decided by public vote, and the individual journalist categories are determined by an expert judging panel.

Nicolas Aubert, head of Willis Towers Watson for Great Britain, said: “Our panel of judges were highly impressed with the quality, diversity and engaging style of this year’s media award submissions.

“The media plays a vital role in providing analysis and commentary on the issues that matter as well as introducing new information to the industry. This year’s winners are a great example of how the media can bring difficult and important issues to the front of people’s mind and encourage solutions to be found through analysis and debate.”
