WINNER:
Katie Morley, The Daily Telegraph
This was a category where one single entry really stood out for the judges, with The Daily Telegraph ‘s Katie Morley impressing the panel with “really strong examples of perseverance” in getting justice for her readers.
“She demonstrates great sensitivity in dealing with vulnerable customers,” remarked one judge. “The Tinder scam story is brilliant and had me hooked as a reader, not just a judge. Heart-breaking, educational, surprising, shocking are words that all spring to mind. Campaigning journalism at its best.”
