Centre of Television Histories Director, Helen Wheatley, won the British Association for Film, Television and Screen Studies Award for Journal Article of the Year for her article

‘Haunted Television: Trauma and the Specter in the Archive’ JCMS: Journal of Cinema and Media Studies, 59 (3), pp.69-80

The judging panel said: "This offers a consistently engaging, thought-provoking and timely reflection on the framing of media figures such as Jimmy Savile as specters ‘haunting’ the television archive. Relying on enlightening textual analyses from a wide range of documentaries and dramas, it convincingly explores the constant reappearance of this spectral figure and the ways these programmes work through the traumas and hidden histories that it represents."
