Cogora has been shortlisted at the Chartered Institute of Journalists (CIoJ) Young Journalist Awards. Pulse’s Senior News Reporter, Anna Colivicchi, has been shortlisted for the Campaigning Journalist of the Year award, a category that recognises impactful journalism serving the public interest. The nomination stems from Pulse’s investigation, ‘You’ve Got No Mail,’ which exposed how hospital trusts have failed to deliver crucial patient documents to GPs—creating backlogs and potential risks to patient safety. The investigation revealed that such failures have persisted across England for years. The CIoJ Young Journalist Awards celebrate excellence among journalists aged 30 and under across various categories. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Tuesday, 25th March 2025. It follows a successful year for Pulse, which has won an array of awards, including B2B writer of the year and Best Use of Data Journalism at the BSME Talent Awards. We'll keep you posted!

Pulse's Senior Reporters Eliza Parr and Anna Colivicchi won two awards at the BSME Talent awards on Tuesday night! Eliza triumphed against some incredibly stiff competition with a coveted B2B writer of the year award and won again together with Anna with the award for data journalism. The judges wrote about Eliza: ‘In her first role in journalism, Eliza’s skilful reporting and command of data-driven storytelling resonated with her audience, and caught the eye of the judges. A star in the making, she shone through in a hotly contested category.’ They wrote about Anna and Eliza’s entry: ‘Anna and Eliza took a challenge faced by millions of Britons every day – getting a GP appointment – and dug into the numbers to explain why the UK public in underserved in a thorough and compelling way. Their work successfully brought to life a piece of work that could help to shape government policy.’ Well done to both Eliza and Anna for their well deserved awards and also to everyone else who was nominated, as they were particularly tough categories!
