From traditional print journalism to online blogging and campaigns, the 2020 awards showcased excellence in reporting on active travel across a range of media and audiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rve-embed-responsive rve-embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe title=\"Active Travel Media Awards 2020\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/486717144?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Excellence in Reporting During a Very Different Kind of Year\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 12 months since the first Active Travel Media Awards have cast many aspects of our lives into a different light. How we work, shop, connect with each other, experience our local areas, and travel to different areas: all of these facets of our lives have been challenged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing issues around car dominance \u2013 from how it affects our ways of moving around to the very structuring of our towns and cities \u2013 have been thrust into the limelight as we seek to grapple with a changed world. We\u2019ve been forced by circumstance to confront many perceptions about where our longer-term problems lie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amongst these moments of change and reassessment, the need for a mature and nuanced media discourse around active travel has been more important than ever. Access to clear and accurate information with which to navigate unfamiliar questions and unexpected \u2013 even scary \u2013 answers, is crucial to a healthy public discourse. And recognising and celebrating excellent media coverage of cycling and walking is exactly the reason that the Active Travel Media Awards were set up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Awards in the time of Covid-19<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year\u2019s event took place online on the evening of 26<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> November 2020. Proceedings opened with journalist Laura Laker discussing her \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rc-rg.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Road Collision Reporting Guidelines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2019 project. In collaboration with national roads policing, academics and experts in the field, road safety charities, and the National Union of Journalists\u2019 ethics council \u2013 not to mention a recently completed public consultation \u2013 this project aims to develop best practice guidelines for how media professionals report on road collisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Winners and commended authors were then announced from amongst extremely strong shortlists across nine categories. New this year were awards for \u2018Student Journalist\u2019, \u2018Blogs\u2019, and \u2018Campaign or Research\u2019. Each category was introduced by ATA director Professor Rachel Aldred, with a short video clip from either a shortlisted author or participant in a shortlisted piece. Members of the judging panel then discussed what had impressed the panel most about each piece \u2013 an extensive number of points given the high quality of the work. Alongside the online stream, the winners and highly commended awards were announced simultaneously via Twitter, and it was great to see such positive social media engagement with the tweets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition \u2013 and by popular public demand \u2013 a Special Award was given to Brian Deegan and Dr Robert Davis for the weekly \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bobeygoro\/videos\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ideas with Beers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2019 webinars. This award reflected both the unusual times \u2013 an online adaptation of what had started as real world pub meetings \u2013 and the breadth of national and international participation that has resulted in a unique and engaging coverage of active travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks, and looking forward to next year\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you to everyone who contributed to making the awards such a success: thank you to our judges, to all of those who nominated people, and to the nominees themselves for your work in this field.
