The shortlist for this year’s new look Press Awards has been announced, with The Times leading the way with the most nominations.
For the first time there are separate categories for broadsheet and popular papers in the feature writer of the year, interviewer of the year and columnist of the Year sections. The shortlist for the newspaper of the year category has yet to be announced.
Three Guardian reporters have been nominated for the news reporter of the year catergory: Nick Davies, Paul Lewis and Rupert Neate. They will be up against the Daily Mirror’s David Collins, Sharon Churcher from the Mail on Sunday and The Times’ Andrew Norfolk.
The awards – which recognise work published in 2011 – will be presented on 20 March 2012 at the Lancaster Hotel in London.
