Observer columnist, Nick Cohen has won the commentator category for his pieces on “the cowardice of Nigel Farage” in the 2015 European Press Prize (EPP).
The EPP judges, chaired by Sir Harold Evans, the Reuters editor-at-large, praised Cohen for his “zest, rhetoric and clear determination to tackle his targets straight on”.
He, like the winners of the other three categories - distinguished writing, investigative reporting and innovation - picked up €10,000, which must be spent on a new journalistic project.
