The Daily Mail’s journalists and campaigns have secured 18 nominations in The 2011 Press Awards - the equivalent of the Oscars of the British Press.

The total number of nominations is equalled only by The Times which, together with the Daily Mail, topped the list by a considerable margin having been short-listed in 13 out of the 24 categories.

The paper’s Stephen Lawrence campaign is nominated as Campaign of the Year.

Its Lawrence campaign is also nominated for the Cudlipp Award, together with the Mail’s ‘Humbling of a Banking Giant’ campaign which made Barclays pay back £60million to elderly customers it enticed into gambling their life savings on the stock market.

Among the journalists shortlisted are:

Alex Brummer as Business and Finance Journalist of the Year

Sara Nathan and Ben Todd for Showbiz Reporter of the Year

Martin Samuel as Sports Journalist of the Year

Robert Hardman as Specialist Reporter of the Year

Paul Bracchi and David Jones as popular newspaper Feature Writer of the Year

Jane Fryer as popular newspaper Interviewer of the Year

Craig Brown and Melanie Phillips as popular newspaper Columnist of the Year

Richard Kay as Diarist of the Year

Andy Hooper as Sports Photographer of the Year

Craig Brown again for the Best of Humour Award.

Mail Online, now officially the most popular English-language newspaper website in the world with 45million unique users, is nominated as Website of the Year.

The awards ceremony, run by the Society of Editors, will take place on March 20 in London.
