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

We are thrilled to announce that Pulse’s Senior News Reporter, Anna Colivicchi, has been awarded Young Campaigning Journalist of the Year at the Institute of Journalists (CIoJ) Young Journalist Awards.

The judges were impressed with the outstanding portfolio of stories submitted by Anna Colivicchi, constituting a superb campaign of investigative journalism with original content and sophisticated data journalism illustration.

The Young Campaigning Journalist award 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.

Judges noted, ‘it is a crucial subject which many of the Pulse’s readers (GPs and the medical profession) were not aware of and is explained with clear, lucid and informative writing. The articles show an intelligent and impressive progression of the theme.

The journalism here is the overall winner because of its detailed and precise content inviting follow-up by the rest of the media. It is a major campaigning story affecting many people and inviting a clear response and demonstration of accountability from regional health trusts.’

The CIoJ Young Journalist Awards celebrate excellence among journalists aged 30 and under across various categories. 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.
