Press Gazette British Journalism Award

2014 - Local Heroes Award

"Carl Eve won the Local Heroes award for his investigation into police failures to prosecute members of a child abuse ring. Judges said: 'this was a particularly difficult investigation which involved persuading police contacts and victims of crime to speak out. 'He has great contacts and uses old fashioned face to face reporting to get behind the headlines. It is the sort of in-depth local reporting which is under threat in the current climate'"
