INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY WRITERS WIN AWARDS
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.TWO writers for the Independent on Sunday won major honours last week in the British Press Awards, organised by the UK Press Gazette.
Richard Williams was judged Sports Feature Writer of the Year for writing that was "colourful, entertaining, moving - everything that great sports writing should be ... When we read Williams we are there with him, and he never fails to deliver the goods."
Robert Fisk was judged Foreign Reporter of the Year for his dispatches on Algeria, the Hebron massacre and "an outstanding piece of reporting" from Bosnia that was published in the Sunday Review. "Foreign reporting at its finest," said the judges.
The daily Independent's Andrew Marr was named Columnist of the Year for writing that was "witty, direct, full of character, often suprising, frequently provoking and always entertaining."
The Independent on Sunday also won the Headline of the Year for its headline on Cal McCrystal's report that investigated the leaked identity of the biggest National Lottery winner from his home town: 4,000 moles in Blackburn Lancashire?
The judges admitted that "the enjoyment, the understanding even, of a headline is an arbitrary thing."
