Always an honour to judge the @pressgazette British Journalism Awards. Celebrating the best in an industry that is controversial, chaotic, brave, innovative, irreverent, occasionally wrong but essential to expose wrongdoing and hold to account those who wield power.

[Brian Flynn @brianaflynn]

Great news…and a great opportunity!

[Press Gazette @pressgazette]

Press Gazette is on course to achieve its most successful year revenue-wise since the 2008 crash and we are expanding. We have vacancies for news and features reporters to cover the UK and US media beats https://t.co/c94VTJsTH5

Yep, and that’s why I’m thanking them for supporting a diverse media. I want to hear all voices, not just ones I agree with.🤷‍♂️

@brianaflynn @StopFundingHate @SkyUK @Trailfinders_ @comparethemkt @NMmoney @DevaracingGroup @MCNnews @TheAA_UK @nathanielcars @RoyalNavy They are free to advertise where they like just the same way I’m free to not use their services or buy their products 🤷‍♂️

@Calimocho14 @StopFundingHate @SkyUK @Trailfinders_ @comparethemkt @NMmoney @DevaracingGroup @MCNnews @TheAA_UK @nathanielcars @RoyalNavy Yep, I just happen to think that a wide range of publications with views across the political spectrum is a healthy thing in a free society, even if I disagree with those views. I want to read, and listen to, views I disagree with.

Devastated to hear of the death of Terry Cooper, a wonderful, kind and brilliant man who masterminded Bristol City’s rise from the ashes in the 1980s and gave me some of my most precious childhood moments following the team he built. Thank you Terry. What a loss. #RIP

@davehagendyk Well done Sophie and well done coach! #development

Honoured to be judging the @pressgazette British Journalism Awards again this year. Massively important to recognise those whose investigative brilliance uncovers wrongdoing and makes a difference. Enter here: https://t.co/Y4ed6t1C3F

I rarely post on Twitter, but must pay tribute to John Kay, the greatest reporter of my lifetime. He was King of Fleet Street & bestrode our industry like a Colossus. A Sun colleague and friend. If any reporter claims not to envy his scoops, they are lying. RIP Johnners.

Superb BBC documentary on Haut de la Garenne child abuse scandal tonight. Watch it on iPlayer if you can. I met @StuartSyvret in Jersey at the time. A brave man stitched up by those in power, as were police who put investigating abuse ahead of the island’s image. Now vindicated.

Should we report them to Ipso and Ofcom for invading their own privacy?

[Dominic Ponsford @DomPonsford]

Question for @stopfundinghate - What has been your evidence-gathering process before seeking to smother GB News at birth? Have you engaged with them? Have you tried to achieve the balance which you say they will lack?

You are too kind @IanKingSky. @TomMcTague is spot on about US newspaper reporters being like our traditional TV journos and vice versa. Earnestness loses readers/viewers too. No journo should take themselves too seriously. A bit of pomposity-pricking is good for us all!

[Ian King @IanKingBusiness]

Completely endorse Sophy's comment here. And the article by @TomMcTague is very enjoyable. In it he mentions Sir Lenny Lottery. @brianaflynn (aka Sir Lenny) is among the most fearless & tenacious reporters with whom I've worked.
