The Guardian and the Observer has won six Press Awards, including an excellence in diversity award, at a ceremony held in London last night (Thursday 18 April).
The Press Awards celebrate outstanding talent from across the UK’s press and champion the importance of journalism to society, with the awards open to all news media publishers distributing nationally in the UK.
Cotton Capital won the diversity award for reporting on links between the Scott Trust founder and transatlantic slavery. The judges called the Cotton Capital series a “breathtakingly honest mea culpa” and added that it was “a hugely thoughtful and comprehensive project that provides a groundbreaking example of how an organisation addresses historical links to slavery”.
