British Society of Magazine Editors

Emma Penny, editor of Farmers Guardian, won the coveted Editor of the Year award for business and professional magazines. Judges described the publication as: “excellent for its complex understanding and passion for its reader, ability to speak to a broad audience whilst also recruiting new, younger readers, and for its news agenda that had a life-improving benefit to the reader”.

“It is a huge accolade – and it’s all down to the talent, skill, determination and enthusiasm of the Farmers Guardian team,” says Emma. “We’ve done some fantastic things and I’m lucky to work with such a brilliant and dedicated team of people.”
