Sky News Corespondent, Amrit Singh Mann was named Outstanding Young Journalist at the 2025 Asian Media Awards.
Journalists and filmmakers joined content creators and actors at the 13th Asian Media Awards in Manchester.
The awards celebrate achievements in a range of categories in journalism, investigations, TV, radio, stage, online and creative media.
The ceremony is supported by the University of Salford and took place at The Manchester Deansgate Hotel on Friday (October 31). It follows a shortlist announcement which was held at BBC Broadcasting House in London.
Amrit was presented the award by University of Salford student Fazila Munshi.
In a touching moment, Amrit thanked his mum and dad whilst on stage for the sacrifices they had made for him.
He later said: “I’m incredibly honoured to win this award. Over the past four years, I’ve been fortunate to work within a brilliant team at Sky News and to tell important stories.
“It remains a privilege to do what I do, and I’m as committed as ever to accurate, independent, and impartial reporting.
“This award is a huge encouragement to keep doing that work. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way – my colleagues, mentors, friends, and family.”
Associate Dean Academic: Student Experience Paul Broster said: “The four nominees submitted outstanding portfolios, all demonstrating top level journalism in leading organisations.
“Amrit was a deserving winner, showing how he had contributed both on and off screen over a number of years at Sky, unearthing exclusives and providing a voice for many different communities.”
Amrit works as a specialist producer in the social affairs department and has reported on original and exclusive content.
His content has reached millions of viewers across TV, social media and picked up wider media outlets. During the qualifying period he has uncovered how bots were being used to book and resell driving tests on the DVSA website.
He revealed that the government was considering an inquiry into the UK’s role in the 1984 Golden Temple massacre and delivered a live report from a major march marking the 40th anniversary of the events four decades ago.
He also reported on the long-awaited British Sign Language (BSL) GCSE would not be ready by the government’s September 2025 deadline.
He produced ‘Bench Across Britain’, a popular series for Sky News’ 2024 UK general election coverage, landed an exclusive interview with Punjabi music star Karan Aujla and reported on the government’s NHS anti-smoking poster featuring a turban-wearing Sikh man, which sparked backlash for cultural insensitivity.
