The UACES-Thomson Reuters ‘Reporting Europe’ Prize 2010 honours excellence in reporting on the European Union in the English-speaking media during 2009.
James Kanter, accepting the 2009 prize
Many in the press may be unaware of the impact they have upon the academic community, and the existence of UACES as an extensive, non-partisan and institutionally neutral association of expertise on European issues. The 2010 UACES-Thomson Reuters ‘Reporting Europe’ Prize acknowledges high quality, informed journalism on any aspect of the EU from either a positive or critical perspective during 2009.
The Prize, which is worth £500, is awarded annually to an individual journalist for a single piece of work, or a series of pieces, which are judged to be of outstanding quality. Any English-language print, radio, television or blog entry by a single author will be accepted. Where the material nominated is under 1000 words, a series of related pieces should be submitted.
The deadline for nominations is 8 February 2010.
For further details, and to download a nomination form, please visit the UACES website.

Last week’s flurry of media outpourings on Daniel Hannan’s comments on the NHS were interesting for several reasons. Firstly, my best friend went to university with him and we both derive much pleasure from watching his (Hannan’s) developing career.
Secondly, and more relevantly for the rest of you, it speaks to some of the comments I’ve [...]
