Broadcasting Press Guild

Broadcasting Press Guild

The Broadcasting Press Guild is a British association of journalists who specialise in writing and broadcasting about television, radio and the media generally.

It began in 1974 as a breakaway body from the Critics’ Circle with a membership of 27, and now comfortably numbers over 100. The Guild's members cover all of the major national newspapers and leading trade journals; they include media correspondents, reviewers, previewers and feature writers. The Guild is divided about evenly between staff journalists and freelancers.

The Guild exists to further professional relations between its members and the people its members write about, namely, those engaged in broadcasting. Its most regular activity is the holding of lunches to which are invited leading industry figures for question and answer sessions. They also annually hold the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards to recognise achievement in British broadcasting.

Over the years, the Guild has entertained every BBC Director-General and Chairman with one exception; every government minister responsible for broadcasting; and a wide range of top executives from all British television and radio channels.
