When receiving his award, the BSME Judges said: “A great writer communicates effectively with their readers and John Earls has done just that! A clear winner in this category. We loved this entry; it was different and engaging and it also highlighted John’s great interview skills.”
In addition, Women’s Running bagged the Diversity & Inclusion Award. Holly, Esther and the rest of the team have built the brand to represent the diversity of women from different ethnicity, body types, and abilities. From cover stars to interviews, the Women’s Running team have paved the way for inclusivity within sports media.
The brand has worked with organisations such as Black Girls Do Run UK and Emancipated Run Crew to launch the #WeWill campaign to raise awareness of the harassment of women runners.
The BSME judge commended Women’s Running powerful effort, saying: “The judges were impressed with Women’s Running’s consistent commitment to diverse representation – on podcasts, covers and in putting together great storytelling. The results were powerful.”
