Watching my fellow editor @gavin_thompson1 on #HoldTheFrontPage on SkyMax who totally smashed it ⭐️ #Newsquest #media

What an experience. Had a blast with @MrNishKumar and Josh Widdicombe when they spent a week in our newsrooms in Cumbria. Just watched Hold The Front Page on Sky Max. My big takeaway. How lucky am I to work in beautiful Cumbria #Newsquest #Cumbria #LakeDistrict #SkyMax
So deserved. And beyond proud
The #MFA2023 Investigation of the Year Regional goes to @newsandstar for its taser use investigation. At a time when the public is increasingly craving confidence in the police, judges said it was distressing but important @EditorsUK

The #MFA2023 Investigation of the Year National goes to @Telegraph for the Lockdown Files. The judges said that its impact was wide and the investigation raised crucial questions about the conduct of our political leaders and decision-making during Covid-19 @EditorsUK
