Doug Wills, chair of London Press Club, said: "It has been a phenomenal news year, particularly in British politics and world affairs. "We are delighted that this year we have the new award for Political Journalist of the Year. "Thanks to the support of Lord Salisbury, this award comes with £1,500 prize money for the winner." The Sun , Britain's biggest newsbrand reaching 31.1 million people a month, consistently holds power to account, champions the freedoms and rights of our readers as well as those in need, and is committed to promoting media freedom. We stepped up the campaigning for our 10 year campaign to keep the price of fuel duty down - ' Keep it Down ' - and were name checked by the chancellor when he confirmed in this year's budget we had once again won a real tangible saving on our readers behalf. We won back £76,000 for our readers through the Squeeze Team campaign, and also reported the scandal of the 4 million hard-up families who pay more for energy because of prepayment meters, explaining readers rights for them. Following the campaign the government announced in the Budget they would change the rules so it no longer happens. Through our Earthquake Fund we lobbied big businesses including Tesco and M&S to raise vital funds (1.5million) with the British Red Cross for those affected by the earthquake in Syria and Turkey. The Sun's latest campaign, backed by the Princess of Wales , seeks to help struggling baby banks through the cost of living crisis with Save The Chi){kind=link}
