The lines are closed, the votes have been counted and I can now reveal that the winners of the British Environment and Media Awards 2007 are:

Award for Best Television News and Current Affairs Coverage – BBC1 Ten O’Clock News – Climate Change

Best Television Documentary – Granada and KQED Public Television – China – Shifting Nature

Award for Journalist of the Year – Fiona Harvey

Award for Newspaper of the Year – The Guardian

Award for Best Coverage by a Magazine – Sunday Times Magazine

Award for Best Radio News or Current Affairs Programme – BBC Radio 4 Costing the Earth – Mermaids Tears

Best Website – Surfers Against Sewage

Best Campaign – People and Planet – Green League 2007

Congratulations to all for a job well done! And on an ironic note, at the awards presentation, Surfers Against Sewage made an on-stage protest against Northumbrian Water, one of the sponsors of the awards, presenting the company’s communications director with a gold toilet brush for “showing a disregard to the health of the marine environment”. We’d expect nothing less from the SAS.
