EDITORIAL BRAND OF THE YEAR

In the inaugural year of this category the judges were delighted to be able to select a strong shortlist. There are a lot of new ideas and an enduring commitment to good journalism and the target audience.

 

The Architects’ Journal

AJ was vibrant and both inward and outward looking to the industry. AJ is a well coordinated offering. The judges particularly liked the wake-up call and the refurb first initiative.

Building

The judges were particularly impressed by the Chernobyl story and podcast, and by the initiative to invite young professionals to take over the magazine.

Dezeen - WINNER

Dezeen taps into the zeitgeist, really understands its audience and has well-planned and original content – there was a great deal of preparation for the Bauhaus Anniversary which paid off.

The evidence is in the stats, particularly the growth on Instagram.

 

Inside Housing

The brand has a strong campaigning focus and serves its target audience well. There was particularly good engagement through the 100 years of social housing.

New Civil Engineer

This brand is successfully targeting different parts of its audience with different content while sticking to its core values. It continues to pack a punch with its focus on exclusives.

IBP JOURNALIST OF THE YEAR

The judges were pleased to see new faces as well as old hands submitting entries this year. Between them they produced a wide range of subjects and deep analysis, informing and educating their readerships in print and digital platforms.

Deciding who was the best of the best in each category was often difficult, but a series of worthy winners slowly emerged – with one very deserving overall winner.

The IBP Journalist of the Year showed just how newsy the construction sector is. By hard work and good intuition, the winner dug out those stories, searching for sources or using Freedom of Information requests to check and double check the facts.

This allowed the winner’s investigative approach to find the real victims and to expose wrong doing in the industry. But the winner really scored in revealing the building of Tottenham Hotspurs stadium – drugs and drink included. This was journalism at its best.

Commercial Property Writer
The judges are looking for entries that cover any aspect of commercial property, including offices, shops and warehousing. Topics could include new projects, redevelopments, market trends, valuations or people involved and might break news or improve the readers' understanding.

Entrants should provide links to three pieces of work, showing how they used digital leadership. They should support their entry with appropriate measurement of engagement statistics, publicity generated or other metrics.

Alternatively, a link to a page turner edition (maximum three issues) can be submitted to support the entry and/or accessible links to digital material which should clearly demonstrate the use of research, choice and range of subjects, photography, design, layout, video and audio.

The editor should include a statement clearly outlining why they believe the multi-platform approach has substantially covered the market sector during the year ending 31 August 2022, with investigative reporting, features and news stories.

Scoop of the Year
This category rewards an outstanding piece of journalism that broke news with a big impact within the built environment sector. Consideration will be given to the relative significance of the story and the journalist's skill in obtaining the story and the information to support it. Stories can be broken on any platform and can be a straight news story or an investigative feature. Entrants should demonstrate proof of the story's exclusivity in the form of speed to market compared with rival coverage.

Candidates should accompany their article with a completed entry form and a statement of 300 words explaining:

  • The significance of the story to the publication's readership
  • How the story was obtained, researched and developed

Candidates should also provide evidence of:

  • The impact the story had on the built environment sector
  • Follow up by rival media
    Speed to market relative to those follow ups. This could be in the form of screen shots showing time and/or date of publication; credit for the story given in other dated publications; written explanations highlighting how the text of the story shows it to be an exclusive (eg, direct, original quotes from an interviewee that were paraphrased in coverage elsewhere).

DIGITAL SERVICE/MULTI-MEDIA JOURNALIST AWARDS

The IBP Digital Service Award was launched eleven years ago to complement the Annual National [Print] Journalism Awards, which were established in 1973, to encourage and reward excellence in journalism in the sectors of construction, building, property and architecture.

The Digital Service category [defined as a digital platform that delivers news content] was introduced to recognise and reward high standards of writing and design for the web together with the key drivers, usability and accessibility. This category is the equivalent of the Magazine of the Year Award in the print categories.

The Multi-Media Journalist category, launched in 2010, focuses on individual contributions that show skills in a variety of fields, including writing content for digital platforms, writing for print, filming, podcasting and use of social networks.

 

BASIS FOR JUDGING: DIGITAL SERVICE CATEGORY

Journalism for the Web – Directness, newsworthiness, simplicity, conciseness, appropriate content for audience, quality of video journalism, use of headings and sub-headings and paragraph length.

Design for the Web – Visual appeal, visual clarity, relation between text and images, use of images and video, quality of repurposing.

Technical Construction – Speed of loading, cross-browser compatibility, quality of mobile/tablet applications, ease of log-in, universal accessibility.

Accessibility and innovation – Use of links, relationships to blogs, encouragement to tweet, use of twitter feed (e.g. retweets from magazines appearing on home page), one-off products such as special ipad apps, clarity of which content is free and which has to be paid for, ease of commenting, quality of live forums, innovative use of web.

 

BASIS FOR JUDGING: MULTI-MEDIA JOURNALIST CATEGORY

Originality – individual voice; angle to story appropriate for the market; use of direct quotes. (NB: It is very hard to judge if an entry is a breaking story or has the journalist’s own mark on it. Entrants have been asked to include explanatory notes with their entry, please see a copy of the Condition of Entry attached).

 Immediacy – live reports from an event; following a story as it breaks; regular updates; excitement.

 Appropriateness – writing/broadcasting in a manner appropriate to the medium; multiple presentations in appropriate form; appropriate selection of delivery method. (NB: is the story presented in the right way for its medium?).

 Good Journalism – general good writing/strong first lines/searching questions (on video) /readability or watchability. NB: in whatever medium, this should be well written or presented (in the case of video).

 Cross pollination – Use of one medium to promote a story that has appeared in another to promote the story or take it forward.

 

Conditions of Entry

 

The Awards are open to Digital Service and Multi-Media Journalists serving the built environment sector.

 

Closing date for entries: 4.00pm Monday 17 September 2018
The Awards ceremony and dinner takes place on Thursday 29 November 2018 at the Four Seasons Hotel, Hamilton Place, Park Lane, London W1J 7DR.

Employment Advice by Media Contacts for Candidates

 

Interview Preparation Tips

 

Interviews often make people feel a lot of undue pressure to ensure they get everything “right”. To boost your confidence and give the very best of yourself, remember to prepare and practice. Have a read of the tips below and make sure you incorporate them into your next interview presentation.

Preparation:

  • Consider the duration of the journey to interview

Ensure that you have a main route planned and a backup in case of any travel disruptions.

  • Dress in the appropriate attire

Whether you must dress formally or smart casual, wearing the required attire will make a good impression to the employer as well as making you feel more relaxed, producing confidence within the interview

  • Research

Conduct some research and understand the required skills and ambitions of the company, compare them to your own and see how you can mention these in your interview.

  • Prepare questions to ask

Prepare questions to ask your employer to show your interest in the role and the employer. Although they are interviewing you this also a chance to discuss with the employer and ask them questions to find out more information regarding the role/company.

  • Prepare answers to general questions

Prepare answers to common interview questions that you may be asked, allowing yourself to have something basic prepared, which you can then expand on with further, directly relevant detail. Sample interview questions can be found at: http://www.media-contacts.co.uk/candidates/interview-advice/questions-they-might-ask-you/

  • Arrive preferably 5 minutes early

Being on time sets a good example to the employer as it highlights that you are punctual. Giving yourself time to calm your nerves and read over some notes to prepare for the interview. Do not arrive more than 5 minutes early though, as you may inconvenience the employer.

Key points for the interview:

  • Give a firm handshake
  • Have good posture
  • Speak about the company background (history, staff, company values and goals)
  • Smile and have positive facial expressions
  • Keep eye contact
  • Have confidence in your answers
  • Mention key articles or blogs that relate to the industry

ENHANCED SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING CAMPAIGN

For 2020, we believe additional measures should be taken to highlight the prestige of the Journalism Awards, and to honour the people who make these awards a reality. An enhanced social media marketing campaign, which will run in the lead up to the event and beyond, will give sponsors the recognition for supporting the work of individual journalists and the built environment media.

Launching across digital and traditional channels, the social media marketing campaign is an unmissable opportunity for sponsors to capitalise on a new platform for exposure, not just on the day of the awards, but for the full lifecycle of the campaign, pre- and post-event.

The planned social media marketing campaign will treat the Journalism Awards with the respect, attention and care a modern event of its stature deserves and is designed to build excitement and anticipation in the weeks and months leading up to the awards presentations.

 

DIGITAL LAYER

This year’s edition of the Journalism Awards will be a thoroughly modern affair, with the development of an enhanced digital layer. This virtual version will run alongside the traditional event and will allow the awards to not just forge ahead but thrive in the face of the challenge posed by COVID-19 legislation.

With the implementation of both the digital layer and the social media marketing campaign, there has truly never been more options and opportunities for sponsors to consider. As well as posing an exciting initiative in itself  the digital layer presents a completely new platform to be capitalised on for branding and sponsorship purposes.

We have partnered with leaders in the industry of virtual events – Live Group –  to deliver this digital layer, who will produce this cutting-edge solution.

Functionally, the digital layer will provide a place to watch the Journalism Awards online if you are unable to attend the event itself. It will also be the home for pre- and post-event content, and a place to network during the event, wherever you may be.

 

SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE

Examples of the printed marketing material and branding opportunities can be sent on request. Last year’s Awards Bulletin and recorded highlights can be viewed on the IBP website homepage video library link www.ibp.org.uk

The cost of a host sponsorship package for each Award category remains at last year’s rate of £5,500.00 plus VAT.

In addition to the individual Award category sponsorship packages there are opportunities to participate as an event host, including the pre-dinner and post Awards receptions. These elements are available for further discussion to help meet sponsors specific requirements.

All details are correct at time of posting on the website.
