National Newspapers

Despite a significant shift towards online news reporting, national newspapers continue to break news stories with far reaching repercussions, demonstrating their enduring impact and influence.

Marie Colvin received a posthumous award in 2012 for her outstanding and very personal coverage of the Syrian conflict demonstrating the huge risks many journalists take to tell an important story.
