It’s another win!
We’re delighted to announce yet another award for surgery creations: this time for magazine design! We won ‘Best Journal’ for our graphic design work on the NUJ’s The Journalist magazine at the 2025 TUC Communications Awards.
The awards, in their 48th year now, celebrate the spectacular work of the best communication teams across the movement – the TUC has 47 affiliated unions and many have more than one member magazine or journal. Published six times a year, The Journalist retains editorial independence from the NUJ’s leadership and aims to offer members comprehensive, news and features on their industries and the union’s activities.
The judges remarked, “The design quality is exceptional, and the front cover of the edition was very powerful.” They praised the high professional standard of the magazine, expressing that it felt like a national publication rather than a traditional trade union title and admired how the content is varied and well-balanced, with a mix of national, contemporary, and historical features.
