2011

The first London Student Journalism Awards, in our humble opinion, were a roaring success. However, it is important to mention that the success on of the event is down to the hard work of many people.

LSJSN would like to thank everyone that entered the awards, everyone who attended the awards, every editor that helped out, University of London Union (ULU) for providing the venue and the bar for giving us cheap drinks, Harmsworth Printers and Streetrunners Distributers for sponsoring the event.

LSJSN would also like to thank Timout, News Of The World, The New Statesman, The Sun, Camden New Journal and Chris Gloag for offering awards to the winners of each category.

Finally, LSJSN would like to thank James Philip Johnston for his superb DJ skills, Dougal Wallace and Chris ‘Moose’ Wright for being phenomenal photographers, Kirsten Dewar for organising everything, Tom Miller for playing piano and Kat Lay for being our Guest of Honour.

The winners were decided by the editors of publications across London. These awards honour the wealth of student journalism being produced across London. Furthermore, because we are student journalists too, LSJSN recognises the trials and tribulations that student journalists face when balancing a passion for journalism with studying for a degree.
