Vodacom Journalist of the Year

2022 - Sport

At its best, sport unifies and inspires the nation – but it can also bring division, disaster and dissent. The many moods of our people can be reflected in sports journalism as it celebrates the glory and elegance of great sporting achievements, analyses, questions or even mourns great sporting heroes. The judges are looking for eloquent and lucid, in‐depth sports journalism, that goes beyond reporting on results and numbers, but brings unusual and innovative perspectives. Your winning entry could be hard news, investigative or a feature, as long as it is based on sport.
