The i Paper has been shortlisted for a range of honours at the Press Awards 2026, including Daily Newspaper of the Year.
The publication received nominations across several team categories and four individual awards, including scoop of the year.
The i Paper is again shortlisted for Daily Newspaper of the Year, a category it was nominated for in 2025.
Other nominations include the Organisations Award for Newspaper of the Year (Daily and Sunday), and Scoop of the Year for this article on Ukraine’s stolen children by our Investigations Correspondent Sanya Burgess.
The exclusive reporting revealed the ordeal suffered by Ukrainian children taken from their families during the war and placed with Russian carers. It detailed how a specialist unit working to trace and recover the children lost access to key material after funding changes in Washington linked to Elon Musk’s drive for deep government spending cuts.
Researchers had been using open-source technology to track the children’s movements, but their access to files was later cut, raising concerns about the continuation of the work.
Several of The i Paper’s journalists have also received individual nominations.
Chief Political Commentator Kitty Donaldson is shortlisted for Political Journalist of the Year, for her coverage and analysis of Westminster and national politics.
Chief Football Writer Daniel Storey is nominated for the prestigious Hugh McIlvanney Award for Sports Journalist of the Year after visiting all 92 Football League grounds in England over the course of a year.
Weekly Columnist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is shortlisted for Broadsheet Columnist of the Year for her piece “People of colour are feeling the flames of racism burning our skins again”, which argues that racism in Britain is on the increase and becoming more socially acceptable, with minorities increasingly blamed for national problems.
Ian Birrell has also been shortlisted as a Columnist of the Year.
The i Paper’s campaigning journalism has also been recognised. Our Save Britain’s Rivers series is nominated for Campaign of the Year after highlighting pollution in waterways. The reporting, led by Environment Correspondent Lucie Heath, helped push the Government to impose stricter testing for “forever chemicals” in rivers and seas.
The UK’s environment watchdog has also launched a record number of criminal investigations into water companies as part of a crackdown on Britain’s sewage crisis, a move former environment secretary Steve Reed described as a “significant win” for the campaign.
The i Paper is also shortlisted in the category of Best Audience Engagement, for its short-form explainer videos known as “Shorts”, which provide concise and bite-size pieces to digest the news.
The Press Awards span 21 categories in total. Shortlists were announced on 11 February, with winners due to be revealed at a ceremony in London on 21 May.
