RTS Television Journalism Awards 2024

As the BBC's Washington, DC correspondent from 2002, and Channel 4 News’s from 2011-2013, Frei lived in America for 11 years, and there, he says, the people make the job “incredibly easy,” simply because “everyone wants to talk to you.”

“They love being on camera, they deliver beautiful sound bites. They’re very articulate—despite the fact that their presidents are often known for the opposite.”

It appears the country may have rubbed off on him. There’s a streak of showmanship about Frei, and he’s certainly given to a soundbite or three.

The prestigious awards ceremony will take place on 28^th February 2024, hosted by Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid at the London Hilton on Park Lane.

Across the 20 competitive categories, ITV leads the way with 16 nominations, receiving two nods in multiple categories including Nations and Regions News and News Coverage – Home. The BBC closely follows with 13 nominations, dominating the Nations and Regions Factual categories receiving all three nods.

Celebrating creativity and excellence in journalism for both news and current affairs, the awards ceremony will take place on 28^th February 2024 at the London Hilton on Park Lane.

For 2024, Adrian Wells, Managing Director of ENEX, will Chair the RTS Television Journalism Awards for the first time. Additionally, the RTS has appointed two new jury Chairs: David Holdsworth, the former Controller of BBC English Regions, and Vikki Cook, Director, Content Media Policy at Ofcom.
