A BBC Persian TV documentary executive produced by DMA’s Patrick Hubbard has won the 2009 AIB Media Excellence Award for clearest coverage of a single news event.

“The Election that Shook Iran”  was broadcast in Farsi on BBC Persian TV and in English on BBC World. It covered the most turbulent time in Iran’s recent history – the period leading up to June’s disputed presidential elections and the violence that followed.

Patrick Hubbard oversaw the entire production, working with an enthusiastic team on a fast-moving story to create an award-winning programme in less than seven days.
