Sky News has been nominated in nine categories at the prestigious Royal Television Society (RTS) Television Journalism Awards 2026, highlighting the broadcaster’s range of reporting and editorial excellence over the past year. The nominations, announced in early February 2026, reflect Sky News’s work across international conflict, domestic politics, public accountability, and investigative journalism.
The RTS Television Journalism Awards are among the United Kingdom’s most respected honours in broadcast news, recognising outstanding contributions by television news organisations, individual reporters, documentary makers, and technical teams. The 2026 nominations place Sky News alongside other leading outlets in categories that span hard-hitting reporting, innovation in journalism, and impactful storytelling.
Among the nominated Sky News pieces are coverage of major international crises, including conflict reporting from frontline zones and humanitarian emergencies, as well as investigative work uncovering systemic issues at national and global levels. The broadcaster’s political reporting, business journalism, and feature storytelling have also been singled out for recognition, showcasing a diversity of editorial strength across formats and subjects.
Industry observers noted that the nominations underscore Sky News’s sustained commitment to independent reporting and editorial rigour, even in challenging environments where access, safety, and verification can be difficult. The network’s teams have covered key global moments — from electoral developments to conflict escalation and public health stories — helping audiences worldwide understand complex events with context and clarity.
The RTS Television Journalism Awards ceremony, scheduled for April 2026, will bring together journalists, producers, technical specialists, and media leaders to honour achievement in news coverage. Winners will be selected by panels of industry experts who evaluate entries based on criteria including editorial impact, ethical standards, storytelling quality, and technical execution.
Sky News executives expressed pride in the nominations and congratulations to all shortlisted teams and contributors. They emphasised that recognition from the Royal Television Society — one of the United Kingdom’s pre-eminent media institutions — is a testament to the collective effort of journalists, producers, and crews committed to informing the public and holding power to account.
The RTS nominations follow a strong awards season for Sky News and illustrate how broadcast journalism continues to play a vital role in shaping public understanding, promoting transparency, and preserving media standards amid an evolving news landscape.
