The Guardian has achieved remarkable success at the Press Awards in London, with its journalists winning top honors across multiple categories. The awards recognize outstanding journalism from all UK news media publishers.
Political Journalist of the Year
Pippa Crerar, the Guardian's political editor, was named Political Journalist of the Year. Her winning work included an exclusive in 2025 revealing that Downing Street was reconsidering cuts to winter fuel payments following Labour's losses in local elections.
Broadsheet Feature Writer of the Year
Simon Hattenstone, a prominent features writer for the Guardian, won Broadsheet Feature Writer of the Year. His poignant account of the decline of gifted musician Joe Black, who was severely let down by his homeless hostel, was highlighted by the judges.
Young Journalist of the Year
Malak A Tantesh received the Young Journalist of the Year award for her harrowing report on her two years in besieged Gaza. She shared her experience of living with constant fear and uncertainty in what she described as a “war that became a gateway to hell.” Tantesh regularly reported from Gaza for the Guardian after the 7 October attack, providing a vital and rare perspective when international journalists were largely barred from entering the territory.
Other Guardian Winners
Data projects editor Pamela Duncan won Data Journalist of the Year for her investigation into how everyday Facebook networks fuel right-wing ideas. Saturday magazine's Charlotte Edwardes took home the Broadsheet Interviewer of the Year award.
The Guardian's podcast team won News Podcast of the Year for Missing in the Amazon, which investigated the disappearance and murder of British journalist Dom Phillips and Brazilian indigenous expert Bruno Pereira in the remote Javari Valley in 2022. Phillips had reported for the Guardian from Brazil.
The Guardian also secured Broadsheet Front Page of the Year for American Dread. The Daily Newspaper of the Year award went to The Times.
