The Daily Telegraph and Guardian lead the nominations in this year’s British Press Awards with 19 shortlisted entries each.
After a year in which the Daily Telegraph dominated the news agenda with its series of revelations about MPs’ expenses its journalists are nominated in categories including scoop of the year, political journalist of the year and reporter of the year.
The Guardian has the next most nominations with 17 (with an additional two nominations shared with sister title The Observer) followed by The Sunday Times on 15, The Times on 12, the Daily Mail with 11 and the Mail on Sunday and Daily Mirror with 10 a piece.
The British Press Awards are run by Wilmington in association with Press Gazette.
A long-list for the top prize of journalist of the year is expected to be released by Wilmington later this week. And newspaper of the year will be announced on the night.
