The Guardian’s Saturday magazine has won three awards, plus a highly commended prize, at this year’s British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) Talent Awards.
The BSME Talent Awards bring together the country’s leading editors alongside publishers, editorial and advertising team members to honour the best in British magazines.
The Guardian’s Saturday magazine won the award for best art team alongside two individual journalism prizes, including Ruth Lewy for best deputy editor and Simon Hattenstone for best writer, features. Jess Cartner-Morley was highly commended in the best writer, fashion & beauty category (also for Saturday magazine).
The judges commented on the Guardian’s Saturday magazine art team, describing their spreads as “bold, decisive and coherent, with the words and the pictures coming together to pack a punch”. Ruth Lewy was praised by the judges for her “talent, tenacity and truly outstanding ability” and noted that Simon Hattenstone’s “skill as an interviewer and ability to flesh out a character is remarkable”. Jess Cartner-Morley was also credited for her “original, highly valued and interesting pieces for the fashion pages and beyond”.
