Wednesday 3 December Heidi Blake and Jonathan Calvert picked up three prizes at Press Gazette's British Journalism Awards last night for their Sunday Times investigations into Fifa and the way RBS was driving small businesses to the wall.
The Insight pair won the sports, business and investigation awards, and their colleague George Arbuthnott was honoured for his work on slavery in Britain.
The top award of the night - journalist of the year - went to Andrew Norfolk of The Times, left, for four years of persistence that finally forced police and the council in Rotherham to confront their own negligence in allowing 1,400 children to be forced into prostitution by predatory Pakistanis.
The paper's war correspondent Anthony Loyd was honoured with the Marie Colvin award, which recognises journalists who raise the reputation and standing of the craft, and a good night for Times newspapers was completed with the politics award. That went to Greg Hurst, Francis Elliott, Rachael Sylvester and Alice Thomson for their work on "Trojan schools".
The keynote speech at the Stationers' Hall was given by Ipso chairman Sir Alan Moses, who encouraged journalists to continue exposing heroes and villains without fear or favour.

The former Labour Home Secretary Alan Johnson won the book prize for his childhood memoir This Boy - the day after winning the Royal Literary Society's £10,000 Ondaatje prize. The Orwell award is for political writing, the Ondaatje for the work that most evokes the spirit of a place.
Orwell judge Sue McGregor said: "This is a tale told without a trace of self-pity, but with great grace and good humour, of what it was like growing up poor in a single- parent family in post-war Britain. It is at once deeply personal and nationally significant." |
