Drew Ambrose, an Al Jazeera English journalist, earned the Journalist of the Year prize at the One World Media Awards in London for his work on the documentary "Locked up in Malaysia's Lockdown," which detailed the maltreatment of migrant workers during the Covid-19 pandemic last year.

According to Free Malaysia Today, a Malaysian daily, the 25-minute episode produced under Al Jazeera's "101 East" weekly feature was the main nomination that contributed to his triumph, with the other being a story on West Papua's deforestation.
