Guardian journalists John Harris and John Domokos have been awarded the prestigious Orwell Prize for Journalism for their Guardian video series, Anywhere But Westminster.
Anywhere But Westminster, which has been running for over ten years, has documented many tumultuous political events over the past decade; from Brexit to coronavirus and life in lockdown. Co-created by the Guardian’s John Harris and John Domokos, the video series turns political coverage on its head, with its roots in journalism far beyond the centres of power as it chronicles the experiences of people and places too often ignored.
Each year, The Orwell Foundation awards The Orwell Prizes for the best politically engaged writing and reporting; from fiction to investigative journalism. The Orwell Prize for Journalism is awarded to the best commentary or reporting which comes closest to achieving writer George Orwell’s ambition to “make political writing into an art.”
