Highly commended for Foreign Reporter: “A riveting personal account of betrayal and killings from a reporter who is unquestionably brave”
• Marc Aspland, Sports Photographer
“A versatile portfolio that demonstrated a mastery of sports photography”
• Peter Brookes, Cartoonist
“[Won] for his powerful and bold image of Putin. Fitting that after Charlie Hebdo we have a winner that created its own controversy”
• Andrew Norfolk, News Journalist
“A painstaking investigation that successfully received huge attention and had huge ramifications. While covering the story over a number of years, he spent many weeks and months sitting in trials where he was the only reporter present. Still he persevered.
“He was instrumental in breaking a scandal and his work prompted the publication of an independent report that last year confirmed that at least 1,400 children in Rotherham had been abused over a period of 15 years”
• Saturday Magazine, Supplement
“Unbeatable writing, produced with consummate elegance... a ‘very Saturday’ feel”
• The Cudlipp Award, My battle for the girls of Rotherham

“Nothing could beat the journalism that led to a council being named and shamed as ‘not fit for purpose’ and a major inquiry - a superb investigation of which any paper would be proud”
Highly commended: “This feels like a team on the move - the section is well-edited with strong commentary and refreshing innovation - they are a definite team to watch”
• Newspaper of the Year
“A consistently great paper with excellent sport, business and columnists. It has sustained excellence in its news reports and comment and is superb in its breadth of coverage and investigative journalism.

“One campaign made it a stand-out winner. Its searing investigation has changed the way the UK treats the issue. It is a brilliant newspaper that defied political correctness and a political cover-up and was brilliantly vindicated in the process”
