The #MFA2023 Investigation of the Year Regional goes to @newsandstar for its taser use investigation. At a time when the public is increasingly craving confidence in the police, judges said it was distressing but important @EditorsUK

The #MFA2023 Investigation of the Year National goes to @Telegraph for the Lockdown Files. The judges said that its impact was wide and the investigation raised crucial questions about the conduct of our political leaders and decision-making during Covid-19 @EditorsUK
