The Older People in the Media Awards are back! Vote now!

What: A celebration of the best coverage, across all media, concerning older people’s issues, from news reporting, through to photojournalism and the best portrayals of older people in films or TV drama.

When: Tuesday 19 November 2013

Independent Age and Barchester Healthcare are thrilled to announce that the Older People in the Media Awards 2013 are now open for nominations.

At a special awards ceremony to be held in central London on Tuesday 19 November 2013, we will once again be celebrating older people in all aspects of the media and shining a light on coverage which has either positively portrayed older people, or sensitively highlighted the issues they face.

The Older People in the Media Awards 2013 follows the success of the 2012 awards, whose winners included, amongst others, BBC1 Controller, Danny Cohen for his brave and groundbreaking season of BBC1 documentaries, When I’m 65, Dame Maggie Smith for her feisty, funny portrayal of the Dowager Lady Grantham in Downton Abbey, Louis Theroux for his sympathetic exploration of living with dementia, as well as a host of regional outlets which successfully and sensitively drew attention to older people’s issues.

We are now taking nominations for this year’s 10 categories.
