Triple triumph for Mail’s young talent
THE strength in depth of the Mail’s outstanding young journalists has been recognised with a triple triumph at this year’s prestigious 30 to Watch awards.
From a record number of entries, judges at the MHP Mischief Awards picked out the Daily Mail’s Chief Political Correspondent Harriet Line, 29, as a winner in the coveted Politics category for her exclusive story about how Geoffrey Cox was earning hundreds of thousands of pounds in the Caribbean while sitting as an MP.
Judges said the winners’ entries represented ‘the very best in political reporting’ and were ‘prime examples of excellence in journalism’.
There was further success for The Mail on Sunday’s Molly Clayton, 23, in the News category.
Judges commended her outstanding investigations into Chinese designer fakes, an encrypted app where you can buy cocaine, and the first sexual assault on Facebook’s metaverse, praising the winners’ reporting for its ‘tenacity’ and ‘long-standing impact’.
Mail on Sunday City Reporter Luke Barr, 27, was a winner in the ‘hotly contested’ City & Business category for a string of exclusives including the revelation that Mike Ashley was suing financier Amanda Staveley.
Judges said the winners’ entries included ‘in-depth investigations, agenda-setting exclusives and thoughtprovoking interviews’ which explained ‘complex financial news to a wide audience’. With the best scoops, unmissable supplements, brilliant features and award-winning sport, the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday continue to invest in the quality journalism which has made them Britain’s biggest-selling – and best – national papers. And all thanks to you, our loyal army of readers.
