TV journalist Lucy praised at awards ceremony

Friday 24 May 2013

Television journalist Lucy Manning was singled out for praise when ITN News won a prestigious award for its coverage of the Jimmy Savile scandal.

OG Lucy, who is a UK editor at ITN, joined her colleagues on stage at the Royal Television Society Journalism Awards to pick up the prize for its reporting of allegations of sexual harassment against the late ‘Jim’ll Fix It’ presenter.

The judges said: “To remain consistently ahead of the competition in covering the UK’s most impactful news story of the year is a remarkable achievement. At the heart of this entry is Lucy Manning’s relentless journalistic determination as well as her compassion for all concerned. Revelation followed revelation, scoop followed scoop in this exemplary news coverage.”

In her speech Lucy said the award was for those who had been assaulted by Savile and brave enough to come forward to tell their story.
