The Sunday Times

The Sunday Times consistently delivers journalism of the highest quality across all its platforms. Sunday is the best day of engagement across The Times app, print sales hold firm and subscriber numbers keep growing. 

Impactful investigations include the one into Agnes Wanjiru, a Kenyan mother whose body was dumped in a septic tank in 2012, which identified solider Robert Purkiss as the prime suspect. Purkiss is now fighting extradition to Kenya where he will be tried for murder, the first time a serving member of the armed forces has been extradited in this way. 

Another investigation into the incomes of King Charles and Prince William revealed they were taking cash from NHS, schools and prisons via leases. It was later announced a number of these lease deals will be scrapped. And it was The Sunday Times that exposed the Westminster Chinese spy scandal, revealed how the Kremlin has been spying on Britain using underwater sensors in UK waters, and ran the first interviews with the parents of two  Southport murder victims.

Outside of news, Style, Sunday Times and Culture magazines have become the destination for big interviews, securing Sydney Sweeney, Bruce Springsteen and Robert De Niro among many others. 

Judges’ comments: “A Sunday paper should be something that keeps you going all week with a variety of timeless stories, and the Sunday Times does this really well… It leads the way in Sunday journalism.”
