We have many budding radio presenters and podcasts evidenced in the radio category. The winners Evangeline and Lizzy did a brilliant ‘NewsBeat’ style report, whilst one of the runners up, Austin and Ananya, did a more long form BBC Radio 4 look at state control of Media. The winning film was an entertaining and informative animation. Isabella R, Isabella H and Christie produced an excellent book featuring in depth analyses of various countries policies and approaches to media control. The most popular category, and one of the hardest to judge, was art. One runner up saw a brilliant look back in London by Isabelle M, whilst the winner allowed us to look into space. Mystery always elicits creative responses. One runner up, Fiona T, powerfully depicted the effects of space tourism using cake and fire.
The overall winner Hannah N producing a coat and bag named the ‘Marina Coat’ after the heroic newsreader Marina Ovsyannikova. One side portrays fake news, the other factual accounts. The wearer of the coat embodies the state and can choose which narrative to show the world.
