Winners of the AIBs 2021 announced

The winners of the AIBs 2021 – the 17th annual competition for journalism and factual productions – have been announced.

In a two-part programme aired on 12 and 15 November and hosted by Kamahl Santamaria – principal presenter on Al Jazeera English – clips from all the shortlisted entries across the 21 TV, radio and digital awards were screened and heard.

The first edition was opened by AIB chief executive Simon Spanswick in the town of Hastings on the south coast of England where the world’s first television receiver was constructed and the world’s first public demonstration of television took place, back in 1924.

He then handed over to the studio in Doha where Kamahl presented each of the categories and revealed commendations and the overall winner in all of the categories. Through the wonders of lockdown technology Kamahl talked to the winners in every category, located on across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australasia.
