    Selected from the 360 entries received this year, the ever-popular Features category boasted the most entries, followed by the Community Service Reporting, Columns/Editorial, Hard News, and Investigative Journalism categories.

    There are no shortlisted entries in the new category: Indigenous language reporting in community media.

    There were also no shortlisted entries in the Popular Journalism category, as none of the entries met the category criteria.

    Jury

    The shortlist was determined by this year’s jury: Tyrone August, Melanie-Ann Feris, Ryland Fisher, Helen Grange, Pippa Green, Thabo Leshilo, Mapi Mhlangu, Lesley Mofokeng, Ruth Motau, Neo Ntsoma, Sue Olswang, Mary Papayya, Gus Silber, and Beauregard Tromp.

    It is with much sadness that jury member Phindile Mary Xaba, passed away on 7 May 2022, following a battle with cancer.
