The Daily Telegraph’s investigation into the alleged murders of two Sydney men by a police officer and reporters’ contributions to a nationwide push to protect young children from social media have been honoured with prestigious News Awards celebrating the best of Australian journalism.

This week, crime and investigation reporters Mark Morri, Josh Hanrahan and Clementine Cuneo were awarded the Scoop of the Year for their work breaking the news that a serving NSW police officer was wanted by his colleagues in the force for the murder of two Sydney men in the inner city suburb of Paddington.

Their coverage earlier won Scoop of the Year at the Kennedy Awards in August.

Contributions by The Daily Telegraph journalists to News Corp Australia’s nationwide Let Them Be Kids campaign — calling for the Australian government to legislate raising the age limit for social media users to be 16 — were also recognised, with the series named the Best National or State Campaign gong.

The Sunday Telegraph columnist Peta Credlin won Best Specialist for her revelations that the Uluru statement was longer and had more attachments than pro-voice referendum activists had let on.
