Foreign Reporter of the Year

The Foreign Reporter of the Year award is one of the honours given annually by The Press Awards in the UK.

History

Over the years, the categories have increased from 3 in 1962,[1] to 31 in 2014.[2] There have been many different awards in the area of international and foreign reporting, with some years having more than one;[3] the first category was International Reporter of the Year in the 1966 awards,[4] the current is Foreign Reporter of the Year.[2]

The 2007 awards saw the introduction of an International Journalist of the Year category; unlike the earlier International Reporter of the Year category from 1966-1989, this category honours journalists from countries outside the UK.[5]
