The Guardian and the Observer has been honoured with three awards at the 2018 British Journalism Awards.
The British Journalism Awards aim to celebrate and promote journalism that is both interesting to the public and in the public interest.
Guardian reporter Amelia Gentleman was honoured with the coveted Journalist of the Year accolade for her work exposing the treatment of Windrush immigrants. The story was described as “astonishing” by the judges, who highlighted that it “set the agenda for weeks”.
Carole Cadwalladr won the Technology Journalism prize for her work on The Cambridge Analytica Files in the Observer. The judges said: “This was a first class piece of investigative journalism – marrying high quality writing with revelation on a matter of real public interest”.
Carole also jointly picked up the Investigation of the Year award alongside Channel 4 News for coverage of the Cambridge Analytica story. The judges described it as “a fantastic example of a collaborative investigation” that demonstrated “long-term commitment“ to the story.
The Guardian also received a highly commended mention for its relationship funding strategy in the Innovation of the Year category.
