Protection Journalist of the Year (Consumer)

Winner: Helena Kelly, Money Mail, Daily Mail
From the first round of scoring in this category, one name stood out from the five journalists on the original shortlist. Nothing changed during the second phase of decision-making to determine the winner in this category, so it’s a case of many congratulations to Money Mail’s Helena Kelly.
“Helena tackles her subjects in a hard hitting, graphic way, sparing no punches. Her articles are news driven - and therefore all the more impactful than perennial "how to" stories,” remarked one judge. Another commended her on “well-researched work that is very well resourced with data and commentators”.
