Cogora shortlisted for four British Society of Magazine Editors Talent Awards
We are thrilled to announce that Cogora has been shortlisted for four awards at this year’s British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) Talent Awards.
The BSME Talent Awards celebrate editorial excellence, best practice and groundbreaking creativity and innovation among grassroots teams across all digital, print and social platforms.
Pulse's deputy news editor Anna Colivicchi has been shortlisted for ‘best writer – news’, while Pulse's reporter Harry Hetherington has been nominated for ‘best new writer’ alongside The Pharmacist's reporter Emily Warner.
Anna became deputy news editor in April last year, after spending two years as a senior reporter at Pulse, and reporting at a variety of local newspapers for four years prior to that. In her role as deputy news editor, she has continued to break exclusive stories for Pulse that shed light on the biggest issues affecting GPs, as well as taking on more editorial responsibility for the brand.
Harry joined Pulse last June and, in his first full-time role as a reporter, has produced agenda-setting journalism. Just a month into the role, he questioned the health secretary about the Government’s intentions on the future of the GP partnership model, and has since continued to find and break exclusive stories, tackling complex issues and turning them into compelling journalism for our audience.
Since joining The Pharmacist in August 2025 Emily has built strong relationships with contacts, conducted in-depth investigations, written person-led features and interviewed influential figures across the sector. Her work has led to a doubling of impressions for the brand in a highly competitive market.
In particular she has tracked ceaseless changes in the weight-loss medications market including Eli Lilly’s major price hike and the warnings that patients will turn to counterfeit drugs. Emily has also written about pharmacists facing abuse from patients and the shift towards independent prescribing.
Anna and Harry have also been shortlisted for ‘best section editor/team – B2B’ as the Pulse news team, alongside senior journalist Maya Dhillon, for their work over the year on the Leng Review’s implications, the 10-year health plan and their exclusive coverage of the BMA’s fall out with the Government over the GP contract.
The winners will be announced on 13 May.
These nominations follow several awards for the Pulse team in the past year, including editor-in-chief Jaimie Kaffash winning a BSME award in November for his work on Cogora Insight, looking at access and recruitment in general practice, and Maya winning for her ‘important’ journalism, shining a light on the negative impact of misleading GP headlines. The Pharmacist was also awarded ‘Best Support for Independent Pharmacists’ at the Avicenna media awards at the start of the year.
