Shortlisted at the Chartered Institute of Journalist’s Young Journalist Awards

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.

GPs warned that the incidents meant that clinical information was not passed and acted on as a result, causing a threat to patient safety and ‘anxiety’ for patients. ‘In many cases, the same or similar problems have occurred repeatedly,’ says Dr. Michelle Drage, CEO of Londonwide LMC. ‘There really does need to be accountability for the effect this has on patients and their GPs.’

Freedom of Information (FOI) data obtained by Pulse showed that since 2013, at least 18 hospital trusts experienced IT failures, leading to over 700,000 patient letters failing to reach GPs.

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.

Pulse provides an indispensable and comprehensive range of trusted content that meets the needs of all GPs, through its political and financial news, cutting-edge investigations, clinical updates or practical business advice. More GPs access Pulse than any other medical journal website (GPMS 2024), with over 36,600 GPs having engaged with Pulse over the past 90 days alone.
