The award ceremony, held on Wednesday 19 June 1996, was hosted by Shahnaz Pakravan.[2]

The overall winners were The News Team at ITN Channel 4 for their coverage of "War Crimes in Bosnia". The overall award was presented by Ken Wiwa.

Marc Jobst said: "I'm enormously proud to receive this award from Amnesty International because I have such respect for their work. The programme they awarded was about Dana Tep and her daughter Ramoni who were subjected to slavery under the Khmer Rouge..."[3]

Dana and Ramoni Tep received a standing ovation at the ceremony, as they bravely chose the occasion of the AIUK Press Awards to come out from years of hiding to reveal their true identities.[3]

gollark: I'd like to see. Some offense, but I bet it either doesn't allow you the ability to write/run arbitrary code or doesn't work.
gollark: That's nice, but you still have to implement very complex sandboxing to *do* it.
gollark: The option #3 I suggested was to not have multiple users; just let the person using it edit everything and don't try some awful nonfunctional sandboxing implementation like you've made.
gollark: I mean, you could do that; that's option #1. It would be an awful solution. But you could.
gollark: Oh, actually there's option #3: just do single user mode and don't bother stopping editing of "OS" files.
