WINNER:
Dean Sobers, Which? Money
In a really high-quality category that proved tough to judge, Dean Sobers from Which? Money once again came out top for the panel.
Judges highlighted Dean’s keen “knowledge of the reader” and complimented his “strong, highly researched articles with images, explainers, and investigative research which included FOIs and looking through 100+ examples”. “I particularly liked the human angle that ran throughout all of Dean's pieces, making it tangible and relevant to his readership,” commented one judge.
Highly Commended:
Sam Barker, This is Money
