To mark ten years of the British Journalism Awards Press Gazette invited newsletter subscribers and former attendees to cast their votes for three special “of the decade awards”.

The categories were: Investigation of the Decade, Scoop of the Decade and Journalist of the Decade. All past winners in these categories were shortlisted.

Launched in 2011 in the wake of the hacking scandal and with the ink barely dry on the Leveson Report, the British Journalism Awards have had serving the public interest at the heart of what they seek to celebrate from the start. Winners also need to show revelation and journalistic rigour.
