The Guardian has been honoured with three awards at the 2019 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.
Marina Hyde won the Comment Journalism prize, who the judges described as “clever, innovative and consistently on the ball”. She was recognised for her writing on subjects including Theresa May’s historic Brexit deal defeat, Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein and Boris Johnson.
Simon Hattenstone and Daniel Lavelle won the Features Journalism award for their Empty Doorway series. The judges said it provided “gripping accounts of the deaths of homeless people”, which were presented as a “beautiful series of articles” .
Guardian reporter Rob Davies picked up the Business, Finance and Economics Journalism award for his investigation into government policy and the gambling industry that led to the resignation of Tracey Crouch as sports minister.
The Guardian also received a highly commended mention in the News Provider of the Year category.
