Although ‘some of the judges were women’.

The 2014 Press Awards have failed to recognise quality journalism in women writers: the nominees are overwhelmingly male.

Organised by the Society of Editors, and with a plethora of well-known sponsors including Camelot, EY, L’Oreal, Unison, Reuters and Google, the awards aim to celebrate ‘the best of UK national newspaper journalism’.

The shortlists for the Press Awards for 2014 were announced earlier this month, and the winners will be revealed at a glittering gala dinner at the Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square, in London on 10 March 2015.
