Newsnight Wins Award. Brit TV At It's Best

The BBC's flagship news and current affairs programme Newsnight has won a special prize at the annual Orwell Awards.

The judges called Newsnight the "most precious and authoritative home for proper reporting of important stories, beautifully crafted by journalists of rare distinction".

The Orwell Prize aims to carry forward George Orwell's ambition "to make political writing into an art" and refers to political writing in the broadest sense.

And bless 'em, they have posted six "Special Reports" for viewing pleasure. I have watched the "White Horse Village" previously, an excellent documentary although inevitably sad, the price of "progress" doesn't come cheap.

I have blogged enough for today, I shall sit back and watch a bit of something. Enjoy.
