text: The Mail on Sunday has set a remarkable new record – after being voted Sunday Newspaper of the Year for a third year in succession. A hat-trick in the prestigious London Press Club awards is unprecedented for a quality, family newspaper. Judges gave the award to The Mail on Sunday ahead of fellow nominees The Sunday Times and Independent on Sunday, saying such a rare feat was ‘fully deserved by a paper where journalistic excellence across the board has led to commercial as well as journalistic success’. They also praised our all-round quality that, week after week, sets the agenda and forces daily newspapers to chase our big exclusives. The Mail on Sunday was voted Sunday Newspaper of the Year for a third year in a row. Ben Ellery's report which revealed the truth about Ed Miliband's feminist t-shirts earned a Scoop of the Year nomination . Our most spectacular front page revealed how feminist T-shirts worn by Ed Miliband and Harriet Harman were made in Mauritius by migrant women workers on 62p an hour… a report which also earned a nomination for Scoop of the Year for reporter Ben Ellery. Other brilliant stories last year included the investigation that caused Fiona Woolf to quit as chairman of the historic child abuse inquiry; how police spied on our journalists’ phone records to compromise sources; comic Michael McIntyre’s secret family tragedy; the Elisabeth Murdoch/Matthew Freud divorce; and the first interview with Commons Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans after he was cleared of gay rape. But that’s not all: our formula for success includes two superb magazines, a fabulous pullout sport supplement; the biggest puzzles section of any newspaper; and top columnists including Liz Jones, Piers Morgan, Peter Hitchens, Rachel Johnson and Chris Evans. Literary critic Craig Brown, winner of countless awards in the past, was nominated this time as Arts Reviewer of the Year.

The awards were presented at a lunch at London’s Stationers’ Hall, where MI5 director-general Andrew Parker gave a keynote speech. The Daily Mail was nominated in the daily newspaper category. The Mail on Sunday’s commercial success saw sales outperform the rest of the Sunday market, with our market share reaching a new record of 21.9 per cent. The Mail on Sunday is poised to become the biggest-selling Sunday paper – amazing for a mid-market paper – and last month was just 31,000 copies behind the red-top Sun. All in all, a Triple Success on Sunday.
