The Guardian has won a People’s Voice award at the 2020 Webby Awards, the leading international awards honouring excellence on the internet.
‘How period apps are making other people rich’ — by Guardian video producers Leah Green and Shay Notelovitz, with Simon Roberts, Joseph Pierce, Ben Kape and Paul Boyd — won the Webby Awards’ People’s Voice vote for Best Video (Technology). The Guardian video explores the rise of period-tracking apps and how marketers can exploit the data people put into their phones to sell and promote unsolicited products.
The Guardian was also shortlisted for a Webby in three additional categories, including The Guardian website (News & Politics, Website), The Guardian app (News & Magazine, Apps & Mobile Sites) and Guardian Documentaries (Documentary, Video Series & Channels).
The Guardian’s flagship daily news podcast Today in Focus was also recognised as an honoree in the Podcasts, News & Politics category.
