SANDFORD ST MARTIN 2024 AWARDS SHORTLISTS

In an increasingly multi-cultural, multi-faith and complex world, broadcasting can be at the forefront of helping us understand other people’s  perspectives, their values and how these inform how they react and respond to the world around them and the decisions they make. If ever evidence was needed of the value of this kind of programming, it is evident through this year’s shortlists. Congratulations to them all!
