What the Judges Said
"Jeremy Vine is a broadcaster completely tuned into his audience and a master of creating pictures with words. The compassion and warmth he showed when interviewing mothers who had lost sons in Afghanistan was not only hugely moving- it also made radio that was talked about and discussed around the land. This is someone who knows instinctively how to make radio work.
"Evan Davis

BBC News for BBC Radio 4
What the Judges Said
"A broadcaster who has that rare ability to be both forensic and funny. Davis’ interviews demonstrate that politeness is not the same as deference and that there are other ways to gain insight and information than by bullishness. It is that combination of a lightness of touch and the ability to amiably demolish the arguments of interviewees that makes Evan Davis a broadcaster to treasure.

What the Judges Said
"A strong relationship with the audience with content that resonates with London life and a wonderful ability to pitch the questioning perfectly no matter who is being interviewed. A talented speech broadcaster who’s equally at home reporting on the London Riots as he is talking to a mother about her daughters kidnap and rape.
