Daily Mail journalists earn record nominations and celebrate major recognition at London Press Club awards

It’s been a big year for the Daily Mail, and the recognition keeps rolling in.

At the prestigious London Press Club awards, the newspaper racked up more nominations than any other title, including a nod for the coveted Press Media Title of the Year.

Breaking Stories That Made Headlines

Leading the charge were reporters Sam Greenhill and David Williams.

The duo uncovered a massive data leak that put thousands of Afghans at risk, sparking a high-profile legal battle against a super injunction imposed by the Ministry of Defence.

Their exclusive, published on Dailymail.co.uk, reached millions of readers worldwide and earned a nomination in the Scoop of the Year category.

Journalists Recognised for Courage and Impact

Chief Reporter Sam Greenhill also received a nod for Journalist of the Year, alongside Deputy Chief Reporter Inderdeep Bains.

Bains shone with her hard-hitting investigation into sexual abuse and misogyny within Britain’s Royal Navy submarines, a story that sent shockwaves through the establishment.

Katie Hind was once again recognised in the Showbusiness category, while veteran reporter Stephen Wright was nominated as Specialist Journalist for his work exposing the wrongful conviction of Peter Sullivan.

The Daily Mail’s multimedia royal team also got a well-deserved nomination for their podcast, Palace Confidential, in a fiercely competitive category.

Achievements Across Sister Titles

The Mail on Sunday was also celebrated at the awards.

Charlotte Griffiths’ exclusive story revealing a secret reconciliation summit between King Charles and Prince Harry’s aides in central London was shortlisted for Scoop of the Year.

Political Editor Glen Owen earned recognition in the politics category for his relentless stream of stories shaking up Westminster.

Rising Stars and Young Journalists

Specialist Reporter Abul Taher and Daisy Graham-Brown made the shortlist in the Young Journalist category, highlighting the next generation of talent at the Mail.

Judges Praise Exceptional Journalism

Pete Clifton, former editor-in-chief of the Press Association and chairman of the judges, commented: “It’s been another exceptional year for news and the quality of the journalism has been remarkable.”

Looking Ahead to the Winners

All eyes will be on central London on October 22, when the winners are revealed at a gala ceremony celebrating the best in journalism.
