However, your comment highlights that pieces can be found via search and out of context. We do usually strive to add in all relevant links to other parts of the site, so thanks for flagging this up.

I was looking for information on Camilla Cavendish of The Times winning the award and jumped to conclusions to soon when I didn't find any. In that you are quite right that my premature conclusion did result from the lack of reference to the main articles reporting on the winners that I was actually looking for. Best, Peter Hello Laura,

We appreciate - and publish - feedback both positive and negative. Judith was at the awards in person, I can vouch for that as I was with her. We reported on the joint winners in a separate news story - http://www.journalism.co.uk/2/articles/532713.php - as you can see, both winners are mentioned in the headline. We also featured them in a separate blog post - http://blogs.journalism.co.uk/editors/tag/richard-brooks/ This blog post was meant to be an alternative view on the night - though it should perhaps have included a link to the winners' piece. Something I'll add now under a clearly marked update. Best, Laura Hi Peter,

In case you haven't noticed "when being there": there were actually two winners of the award in 2008 and you completely missed out on co-winner Camilla Cavendish of The Times - for an excellent series of pieces on the secret culture of the family courts and a campaign against the miscarriages of justice carried out under the Children’s Act 1989 in these secret courts. Were you actually there or did you get your information from Twitter? But hey you were on Twitter, quite an accomplishment for a journalist with your reporting qualities probably. As you will probably be well aware of with your journalism qualities dear, live is all about appearances. So you will probably have often exercised in deleting critical reactions like mine on your writing, Therefore wishing you all the best in your sort of "journalism", Regards, Peter Hi Judy,
