WINNER:

Holly Mead, The Times and The Sunday Times

Congratulations go to The Times and The Sunday Times’ Holly Mead, who impressed judges with her “fresh” and “easy to read” style.

“She covers serious subjects such as childcare and the care crisis with empathy, and she backs everything up with personal experiences as well as essential facts and figures,” one judge explained. “Holly brings personal experience to important day-to-day issues most of us deal with,” said another.


Highly Commended:

David Brenchley, The Times and The Sunday Times

Judges were also keen to recognise the work of Holly’s colleague at The Times and The Sunday Times, David Brenchley. “David’s pieces are well researched and supported by helpful data,” remarked one judge, with his “analytical style genuinely helpful for readers”.
