The TRICs are the product of lobbying and pretty meaningless for any recipient, which is why GBN crowing about them feels a bit pathetic. It’s like those food awards companies proudly stick on their packaging without telling you they had to pay to enter in the first place.
If GBN had won a TV BAFTA for their news output, then they might have cause for real celebration.
