Skip to main navigation HOME ABOUT US INVESTORS CAREERS CONTACT REACH SOLUTIONS REACH PRINTING SERVICES REACH WORK OUR VISION & VALUES Our Core Purpose Reach is the UK’s leading commercial national and regional news publisher – and our award winning journalism is relied on by millions of people for news, entertainment and sport. Our national, regional, local and hyperlocal portfolio of newsbrands serve their communities as prominent champions, campaigners and changemakers. This core purpose is a source of pride and is celebrated across the organisation. Award Winning Journalism Throughout 2020, our award winning journalists continued to engage the public with up-to-the-minute coverage of news, sport and entertainment. The Mirror story on Dominic Cummings’ lockdown trip to Barnard Castle – joint winner of Scoop of the Year at the British journalism awards – showed the importance of our journalism in holding power to account. The continued resurgence of the Express as a newspaper of influence was recognised with the Cudlipp Award for Campaign of the Year for its ‘Time to end the cystic fibrosis drugs scandal’ campaign. In Scotland, the Daily Record campaigned against the Scottish Government’s use of algorithms to mark down exam results, setting an agenda for the rest of the UK and forcing a Government rethink. In Ireland the Irish Mirror won the Headline of the Year award for its ‘Parting Glass’ front page and the Irish Daily Star won the Campaigning Journalism award for its relentless coverage of the Kinahan cartel. Our regional titles also received recognition throughout 2020 with a raft of awards and commendations at the Regional Press Awards – the Manchester Evening News, Liverpool Echo and Wales Online leading the way. In 2020, Reach colleagues and teams received over 25 industry Media Awards across our national and regional brands. Championing Local Communities From the latest COVID-19 infection numbers in your postcode, to the nearest test centre, the InYourArea team have innovated throughout the pandemic to ensure local communities had the information they needed to navigate each stage of the Coronavirus crisis. Throughout the Coronavirus crisis readers of our regional newspapers and sites turned to Reach’s trusted regional journalists to keep up to speed with the latest developments. From holding decision makers to account and covering the latest local impacts, to reporting on the heroism of frontline workers and the local tragedies, Reach titles including the Leicester Mercury, Liverpool Echo, Manchester Evening News and The Gazette in Teeside were torchbearers for their communities. ‘Pride of’ Awards Our ‘Pride of’ awards series provide a much-needed feel-good celebration of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. There was a particular focus on lockdown heroes this year, and the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards saw celebrities paying tribute to real-life pandemic superstars, including the late Captain Sir Tom Moore. In London, the BT Tower displayed the Pride of Britain logo, whilst the London Eye and County Hall were lit up in the colours of the Union Flag to show their support. Furthermore, we hosted our first-ever Daily Record Pride of Scotland Awards on Hogmanay, shining a light on heroic everyday Scots.
