The Financial Times say Democracy 2024, a series starring Margaret Atwood, Aditi Mittal, Elif Shafak and Lola Shoneyin, was the winner in the Multiplatform Series category at the Rose d’Or Awards which recognises talent from across the international television industry.
Head of new formats Juliet Riddell said: "It was fantastic to see the Democracy 2024 series be recognised at the prestigious Rose d'Or Awards along with the best of broadcast and streamed television programmes from around the world. It is a vital year for democracy and the role of free creative industries, the media and journalism is essential to recognise and protect."
How Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act changed the world, an FT film that examines Joe Biden’s landmark legislation and its impact on globalisation has won an Association for International Broadcasting award in the International Affairs Documentary category. The AIBs recognise excellence in journalism and factual productions across TV, radio and digital, added the FT.
Senior video journalist Dan Garrahan said: “I'm delighted that our FT film on how Biden's Inflation Reduction Act changed the world has won an Association for International Broadcasting award. It was a thrill just to be nominated alongside Al Jazeera, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, ITN and national treasure Michael Palin. A new president is about to enter the White House but this legislation is Biden's legacy and could prove difficult for the new administration to unpick.”
Assistant editor and global head of video Veronica Kan-Dapaah said: “These awards underline the quality of the video journalism we create for FT.com subscribers. We are proud to share our films on social video platforms to introduce our journalism to viewers who are less familiar with the Financial Times, what they will find is that our documentaries hold their own compared to content produced by the biggest and best broadcasters in the world.”
