Guy picks up 2025 Georgina Henry Award
The 2025 Georgina Henry Award winner is Emma Guy for Subtext.
Judges said: “Misinformation is one of the biggest challenges of our age, with a growing consensus among journalists that something must be done to improve media literacy, especially among young people and those from marginalised and hard-to-reach communities.
“This project does just that by providing practical and much-need solutions to improve understanding among the young and excluded.”
This award is kindly sponsored by Wiggin.
Emma Guy is the editor and co-founder of The Leicester Gazette, a local, independent newspaper in Leicestershire, as well as former editor or human rights publication EachOther.
She is nominated for Subtext, an educational, media literacy, human and social rights charity. The project will deliver interactive workshops to young people and those in hard-to-reach communities.
