Wales on Sunday chief reporter Martin Shipton was named Daily News Journalist of the Year and Welsh Journalist of the Year in the BT Press and Brodcast Awards in Cardiff tonight.

Judges described his entry as “quite outstanding in a list of high-quality category winners”.

Politics dominated the Welsh news agenda last year and he had dominated his field, they said. An exclusive interview with Ron Davies was billed as “the one the nation has been waiting to read” and the judges concluded the country would not have been disappointed.

They said Martin wrote “with an easy style that disguises the skill and determination that goes into his work”.

Highly commended in the daily newspaper category were Bryn Jones, of the Daily Post, and Jason Lamport, of the Welsh Mirror, who, with Wales on Sunday last year, won the Daily News category.
