"Broadcasting requires you not only to find a good story, but a great way to tell it. Liz Tucker’s intimate portrait of Steve Isaac and his family was delicately covered and compelling. That it was filmed, in part, by Steve’s son gave us unique access and perspective, immersing the viewer in a topic which many of find difficult to contemploate".
 

In the ceremony which took place at BMA house, the other candidates in the Broadcast Journalist of the Year shortlist were Victoria MacDonald, the Health Correspondent for Channel 4, and BBC 5 Live’s Faye Kirkland.
