The BV named the UK’s Regional News Site of the Year 2024 at Press Gazette’s Future of Media Awards

Date:

We are utterly bowled over to have been named the Regional News Site of the Year at one of the UK’s most prestigious media events, Press Gazette’s Future of Media Awards.

Recognising excellence in digital news media and publishing, the biggest names in UK publishing were represented at the awards, with the FT, Telegraph and Sky News all big winners on the night. The winners were chosen by a panel of 30 judges who carried out their own assessments before taking part in two days of in-person discussions.

Press Gazette’s Charlotte Tobin wrote: ‘For the Website of the Year categories, the judges were looking for sites which have great content, are well designed, are easy to use, are strong technically and commercially sustainable.’

The national Website of the Year award went to The FT, and it was The BV that impressed judges for the regional category. The comments on The BV’s entry included: ‘With a clear mission, The BV is serving a clearly defined rural audience, delivering news content effectively on multiple platforms and securing the support of local businesses.’

The winners of Press Gazette’s third Future of Media Awards were presented at the London Hilton Bankside on Thursday 12th September, alongside a sit-down dinner.
