Both the listening audience and members of the professional media have responded to Michelle Martin’s work as a producer and presenter. For excellence in broadcasting and journalism Michelle won two awards at the Inaugural MediaCorp News Awards in 2006, bagging the  “Best News/Current Affairs Presenter” for what the judges described as “sharp thinking skills displayed during the hosting of the weekday morning show”. Michelle also won an award for Best News Special/Current Affairs Programme for a feature which the judges described as “insightful and well-researched”.

In 2007 the MediaCorp News Awards, Michelle won the prestigious award for “Story of the Year with Public Participation” for her hard-hitting programme Talkback: The Advanced Medical Directive which the judges described as “a cut above the rest”.

Michelle is a familiar voice with the public who voted her to two back-to-back wins at the Singapore Radio awards in which awards are decided purely by listeners’ participation. Michelle was named Favourite Radio Personality by listeners in 2005 who again gave Michelle a win the following year, voting her as Carlsberg Friendliest Radio Personality in 2006.

In 2007, Michelle was privileged to have been named Reading Ambassador by the National Library Board, a post she has held for three years running. Michelle actively promotes reading and literacy with her daily produced book review segments. In 2007 she was appointed Mediator for the National Library Boards inaugural “On-Air Bookclub”, featuring CEOs and a Member of Parliament in conjunction with the nationwide Read! Singapore campaign.
