The strength in depth of the Mail’s outstanding journalism has been recognised with a host of top honours at the Press Awards – the newspaper industry’s Oscars.
Leading the way once again was the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday’s peerless Sarah Vine, who bagged the prestigious Columnist of the Year (Tabloid) title for the third time in only four years.
Describing her as a ‘great writer who totally gets her readers’, judges heaped praise on her column, which they said was ‘by far the strongest’ and written with ‘verve and heart’.
The Mail’s Isaan Khan capped a remarkable week by beating a brilliant field to take the much-prized Hugh McIlvanney Award for Sports Journalist of the Year.
Incredibly, it was his third award in as many days – Khan had already bagged the GG2 Young Achiever Award and the Sports Journalists’ Association’s Ian Wooldridge Award earlier in the week.
