The Private Eye Paul Foot Award for investigative and campaigning journalism is now open to entries for 2020.
The award was set up in honour of Foot, a former Mirror, Guardian and Eye investigative journalist who died in 2004 aged 66.
Chairman of the judges Padraig Reidy said: “In spite of reports of journalism’s demise, each year the range of stories, outlets and reporters entering in the Paul Foot Award gets more diverse.
“We’re looking forward to reading more brilliant campaigns and investigations.”
