TechCentral founder and editor Duncan McLeod and Finweek contributor and ZA Tech Show host Simon Dingle have jointly won the information and communications technology (ICT) category of the 2012 Classic FM Business Journalist of the Year awards.
The awards, which are organised by radio station Classic FM and sponsored by Telkom, are unique in that business journalists are shortlisted and judged by their peers rather than them entering the awards themselves.
McLeod and Dingle also won the award in the ICT category jointly in 2010.
The awards, the ceremony for which was held at Summer Place in Sandton on Wednesday, recognise excellence in business journalism.
Telkom CEO Nombulelo Moholi and communications minister Dina Pule were the keynote speakers at the event.
The overall Telkom Classic Business Journalist of the Year award went to Financial Mail journalist Stephen Cranston for a cover story he wrote on SABMiller.
